How to turn on Clear Calling on your Pixel 7
(Pocket-lint) – Google released a December Pixel Feature Drop software update for the Pixel 7 series that included a feature called Clear Calling. Here’s everything you need to know about it, including how to enable it on your Google phone.
What is Clear Calling?
Clear Calling is basically a noise-cancellation feature for phone calls. According to Google, you should turn on Clear Calling when you want to make a caller’s voice easier to hear against background sounds.
Your Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro phone will use AI and machine learning to effectively provide noise cancellation for sounds such as wind, traffic, and people talking. With Clear Calling, all sound data is processed on the phone, but it is internet-dependent, so you need a reliable connection for it to be effective.
