- Google Phone’s new “Take a Message” was presumed to be a Pixel 10-exclusive, but Google has clarified the feature is available on Pixel 4 and higher, but only in the US, UK, Ireland, and Australia.
- Users can also set up the feature on their Pixel Watch 2 and newer, but when paired to the Pixel 6 and higher.
- Similarly, Call Notes’ next steps feature was also presumed to be a Pixel 10-exclusive, but it is live on the Pixel 9 series too.
With the launch of the Pixel 10 series, Google added a new Take a Message feature to the Google Phone app. This feature asks callers if it can take a message on your behalf when you are about to miss a call (or you decline one). The recording is transcribed automatically and is visible in the Phone app, right in your call history. It was widely presumed that Take a Message would be a Pixel 10-exclusive feature, but Google has now confirmed the feature is available on older Pixels too.
Through a support article, Google has confirmed that Take a Message is available on Pixel 4 and higher, but only in the US, UK, Ireland, and Australia. Most carriers in these regions, except DISH, support Take a Message. Some users in these regions are already seeing the feature on their Pixel 9 series, and we expect availability to expand to the rest of the Pixel lineup in the coming days.
