Google has two types of Screen Calling feature: Automatic and Manual. There is no information which type of Screen Calling, if it comes, will be available in India. Call Screen can be set up to screen certain types of callers.

A detected spam call is declined without alerting the user. For calls that Call Screen doesn’t detect as spam, the phone will ring and users will be able to see how the caller responds. After the call, users can read the transcript and listen to the call audio in the “Recents” tab.

Google says the Call Screen uses new, on-device technology to keep calls private. Countries where Call Screening feature is available The countries where users can screen calls automatically on all Pixel phones include Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Spain, UK and US. Manual Call Screen is also available in the US and Canada on selected Android devices.
