Direct My Call is a great feature for business calls that was first introduced last year, and it has now got some upgrades in the Google Pixel 7.
Direct My Call has been around for a while and has now been introduced in the Pixel 7 with a few advancements. Automated voice message menus can have their selections typed out for you here so you won’t have to try to recall what they were. Because of the latest update, the system can now display 1-800 numbers before the speaker even says them.
If the company you’re calling uses an automated voice program, Direct My Call is a valuable feature for that. Here’s how to use this function on a Google Pixel 7 phone.
How Does Direct My Call Work on Google Pixel 7
Using a Pixel 7, when you call a business it routes you through an automated voice menu due to Google’s Direct My Call tool. Instead of listening to the robotic voice rattle off options one by one, this tool displays the menu selections right on your screen thanks to Google’s AI-driven technology.
It even gets smarter by pulling data from past calls to the same number that other Pixel users have shared (don’t worry—it’s voluntary). This way, it can predict the options and show them before the automated voice finishes talking. No more wasting time navigating endless menus. This feature is particularly useful in complex phone trees commonly found in customer service calls.
