Washington: Google has introduced a new feature in its Phone app called "Calling Cards," allowing users to customize incoming call screens with full images and distinctive text formats, replacing the traditional small contact photos.

The company confirmed that the feature will roll out gradually to users worldwide in phases.

It is part of the new Material 3 design updates in Android and was tested in beta versions of the Phone and Contacts apps before its broader release.

Upon activation, users will choose images from the camera, gallery, or Google Photos, and select fonts and colors to display caller names in a unique style.

This feature resembles Apple's Contact Poster introduced for iPhone users in 2023.
