From PC Mag: After testing iOS-inspired "Calling Cards" for its Phone app earlier this month, Google has released the feature to all users this week.
Like iPhone's Contact Posters, Calling Cards lets you set full-screen photos for incoming and outgoing calls. To try it out, download v188 or later of the Phone app. If you don't spot the feature immediately, don't worry. "We're rolling out Calling Cards in phases to ensure the best experience," Google said in a support page on Thursday.
Once available, you should see a promo for the feature at the top of the Phone app's home page. Apart from adding full-screen photographs to Calling Cards, you can also stylize the font, change its colors, and modify the background of the image. All of these customizations are possible from both the Phone and Contacts apps.
Google and Apple have treated the feature differently. As The Verge notes, unlike on iOS, Android users can't decide how their Calling Card appears on someone else's phone. That also means if you want to see a Calling Card when making or receiving a call, you'll need to add the image yourself.
