- The Google Phone app could soon let you provide feedback for scam calls and let you add additional context.
- The Google Contacts app could also soon present a Lookup button previously only visible in the Phone app.
The Google Phone app works surprisingly well if you want to
block phone numbers or just want to
block spam calls in particular. Google recently added the ability to
report calls as either spam or scam to the Phone app. When you long press on an entry in the call log and select Block or report, you can select from the two options for reporting as spam or scam and separately choose to block the phone number. When you report the number, it gets reported to Google without further context. A future update could improve this reporting process with a feedback mechanism for scam calls.
