Google improves call cards for Android much better, at least for people who use Google Contacts and Google Phone applications.
The new version is inspired by iOS by leaving complete photos oriented towards the portrait appear on your screen when they call you. Previously, you were limited to using only the smallest avatar for each contact, but you can now use both. In addition, you can make the two different images if you wish.
A report of 9TO5GOOGLE Said it takes place now, but it seems quite slow. I could not obtain the update of my Pixel 9 after downloading the last Dev Beta from Android 16. Ideally, more people with the Google Contacts application will start to see it soon. The publication also mentions that he noticed a pop-up highlighting call cards in the beta version of the Google Phone application, suggesting that a large deployment is imminent.
Once you have obtained the update, just open a contact card and start editing. In the editing interface, you should see the option of adding a “call card” at the top of the page. Press it, select a photo and you are ready to go. If you wish, you can also change the font and the color of the text that displays their name. Then, whenever this person calls you, this photo will appear.
This version differs slightly from Apple’s implementation in that Android does not allow you to create your own contact / poster card, which is automatically shared with the people you call. On Apple devices, if someone you call or send an SMS does not have a contact photo configured for you, it will then show your pre-prepared contact photo / poster. In the Android Messages application, you can define a default photo that others will see, so perhaps Google will be able to develop this in the future.
