Get Pixel 3’s Call Screen Feature on Rooted Android Device

One of the most useful features of Pixel 3 is the smart call screen feature. This feature allows you to "see" who's calling and what they want to talk about. When you enable it, Google Assistant takes the call on your behalf. It will then tell them that the recipient is using the Call Filtering feature. Subsequently, he will wait for the caller's answer. Whatever the caller says about this end, it will be transcribed live on your screen.

After reviewing the caller's answer, you can resume the call from the wizard or ask him to end the call. In addition, you can even choose to continue this conversation via the wizard itself by choosing one of the predefined answers. These include "Is this urgent?", "I'll call you back, etc." And now, you can also enable this Call Screen Call feature on your Android device. Be sure to check the prerequisites listed below.
