Pixel\u2019s Google Assistant can now \u201cAsk if urgent\u201d when your contacts call you\u060c<\/p>\n
\u201cShould I take this again or not?\u201d I don\u2019t want to \u2013 but it might be urgent. If only there was a way to know if I to have<\/span> to answer the phone now\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n As there are fewer and fewer people who never ask these questions and automatically answer all their incoming calls, a new Google<\/a> Assistant option comes in very handy for others, those who hesitate when called.<\/p>\n As first announced at the Made by Google event on October 4, Pixel users can use the Google Assistant to ask if an incoming call from a contact is urgent (via 9to5Google<\/a>).<\/p>\n The Screen Call option has saved Pixel owners countless hours of unwanted calls, allowing Google Assistant<\/a> to find out who the person (if human) on the other side of the line is and what she wants. Almost always, spam emails hang up automatically. <\/p>\n It’s not as useful as knowing who’s calling. Of course, it’s up to you whether you want to use Google Assistant to screen a call from a caller known as a family member, but that can easily turn out to be a bad idea.<\/p>\n Now, Google Assistant call screening has a new option that only appears to people on your contacts list. By tapping the new \u201cAsk in an Emergency\u201d option, your friend or family member who calls you receives a slightly friendlier greeting from the Google Assistant: \u201cHello, I’m a Google’s virtual assistant on a registered line. The person you’re trying to contact wanted me to check if it’s urgent? \u00bb<\/p>\n As before, Assistant transcribes and displays what the caller says in response, while the Phone app<\/a> provides accessible options for requesting more information.<\/p>\nNow things are different<\/h2>\n
