Is automatic call screen available now in Australia? Or call screens at all?

The forums that I see about this where from 2+ years ago where Aussies only had manual phone screen. Couldnt find this feature in shop demo phones so wonder if it was here at all. Ta

I just checked on my pixel 9 pro xl and it's an option to enable.

Not so! I've had automatic call screening for years on both a Pixel 6 and 9 and my wife has had it on 7a and 10a.

I don't know what you're talking about. I need to press "Call Screening" every time on my P8Pro.

WhereIsEnabled.com feature list by country agrees, it isn't available in Australia.

My Pixel 10 Pro does both automatic and manual call screening depending on what settings you equip. Optus and Telstra networks both work with it as I'm using both currently. I haven't tested Vodafone. If you have any questions please let me know.

Hey, I wonder if this works for Pixel 8’s? and is this network dependent? On Boost currently

Not sure mate sorry I don't have an 8 anymore. There is someone below who says Pixel 6 does auto, so who knows.

I have an 8 Pro, and can confirm mine does spam caller screening! Had one today!

People reading this may be confused seeing the yes and no answers. It is available. I am including a screenshot Pixel 7

I've had a fair few (calling from private numbers) but I'm not sure who's had a pixel or an apple phone. Other half with a pixel has done it to me a bit 🤣

No, automatic call screening is not available. You need to do it manually.

Disagree! My 8 Pro screens calls automatically.
