Google Phone App Lets You Seach Numbers Not In Your Contacts

Google has a lot of really hot news on its plate right now. There’s the Pixel 5a, the Pixel 6, and the finalized version of Android 12. While this is true, the company can still make time to focus on the little things. As spotted by Android Police, the new Google Phone beta makes it easier to search phone numbers that you don’t have in your contacts.

The Google Phone beta hasn’t rolled out to many people just yet

This beta is still hitting phones gradually, so don’t be too surprised if you don’t see this feature on your phone just yet. When you are in the Google Phone app, you have the option to search up your contacts. This comes in handy for people who want to quickly search up a friend or family member.

It’s a different story if the number you’re looking for is not saved in your contacts. With this new beta, when you tap the search bar, you will be able to look up numbers that aren’t saved in your contacts. This could help in a pinch if you forgot to save a contact.

We don’t know when this will be rolling out on a more broad scale. The number that’s being shown in the screenshot is an Indian number. Google might be testing this new beta in India before bringing it to the states.

Google Phone isn’t the only Google app to get a recent update

Other changes include Google Discover, the company’s news feed. It’s just gotten a bit of a visual overhaul. The news results are displayed are now easier to read. They’re presented in a less cluttered manner. Instead of showing a snippet of the article, the results only show the title, featured image, site, share option, ‘like’ option, and the settings icon.

Those who use Google Discover should like this change if they don’t want to deal with a cluttered feed. The only issue is that it’s only coming out for people who are on the Android 12 beta. We don’t know if this will trickle down to older versions of Android.

If you really want to experience all of the changes that are coming with Android 12, just remember that it can still be installed on devices as old as the Pixel 3. If you have the 2017 flagship, you can intall the update with no problem. With a quick search, you can find a used Pixel 3 for under $200.

With Android 12 out and about, you can expect more changes to Google’s software as the company continues to reinvent the Android platform. Google Discover and the Google Phone beta are just two examples of this.
