Use Google Assistant to make calls on your mobile device

You can ask Google Assistant to make phone calls to your friends, family, and businesses. You can also ask Google Assistant for more info when you call a business.  

Start & end calls with your voice

To start a call, say "Hey Google," then say a command:

• "Call [contact name]."
• "Call [business name]."
• "What is the nearest [business]?" then "Call them."
• "Call [phone number]."

On Pixel 4 and later, including Fold, you can also accept or decline a call with commands like “Answer” and “Decline.”

Get help with automated messages & phone menus

When you call a business with an automated phone system, you can get a live transcript of the call to help navigate automatic messages and the menu. Assistant can also help you wait on hold and connect you to the call when an agent joins the line.

Important: This feature is available on Pixel 4 and later, including Fold, in English in the UK and US.

2. Tap More Settings Direct My Call.
