Personalize your Pixel with calling Cards Are you tired of boring incoming call screens? Google's rolled out a slick new feature for Pixel phones called calling Cards that lets you jazz up those calls with full screen custom images. Here's how it works. Open your contacts app and select any contact you want to customize. Look for the new calling cards option. It's usually right there in the contact details. From here, you can pick any photo from your device or pull something from Google Photos. The cool part? You're not stuck with just the image. You can customize fonts and colors to match your style or make the text pop against your chosen background. Think of it like creating a mini welcome screen for each of your contacts when someone calls. Instead of that plain contact card, you'll see this beautiful full screen experience that makes every call feel more personal and inviting. Now here's the gotcha you need to know.
