- We’ve spotted clues that indicate Google is working on a “calling card” feature for Android.
- The feature may allow for full-screen images and custom fonts for incoming calls.
- Speculatively, it could be similar to iOS’ Contact Posters, enabling users to personalize their call display.
Google and Apple frequently look at each other’s operating systems for inspiration on what next to bring to their own. We’ve seen iOS copy features like widgets, free app icon placement on the home screen, and more from Android. On the other hand, we’ve spotted Google working on features like Handoff, which are a page out of Apple’s book. We’ve now spotted clues for an in-development “calling card” feature, which could potentially become Android’s answer to iOS’ Contact Posters.
