Google Develops "Find" Button for Unknown Calls on Android

Google is developing a simple and practical feature: a method to directly search for the phone number that just called you from the recent call screen. User X AssembleDebug revealed to PiunikaWeb that a new "Search" button has appeared in the test version of the Google Phone app. When clicked, it will bring up Google search with the number automatically entered. Although the Google Phone app is the default app for Pixel phones, it can also be downloaded by other Android phone users. The new search button is listed alongside other options such as "Block" and "History", which are displayed when you click on recent calls in the phone app. In this era filled with a large number of spam calls originating from fake phone numbers, this feature seems to be five years late. The Google Pixel Phone app will receive the "Search" feature to identify recent unknown callers and make adjustments to the user interface of the emergency call screen. Nevertheless, I am confident that I am not the only one still going through the tedious process of copying and pasting unknown numbers that harass me into Google search. Now, I only do it when I see the same number multiple times, but the frequency of such occurrences is enough to make me eager to stop this clumsy smartphone copy/paste operation. AssembleDebug also discovered that Google is adding the Gemini email summary to the Android version of the Gmail app. This feature exists in the form of a button below the email subject line. Clicking it will display the summary. At least, that's the expected idea. PiunikaWeb wrote that currently this button doesn't have any functionality, but there is also a new Gemini menu option in Gmail's three-dot menu. Meanwhile, the Gemini app on Android is already capable of summarizing emails for you (provided you have a Google Workspace account). Of course, it would be even better if Gemini could perform this operation directly in Gmail, just like how it works on the web version.
