If you’re like me, who gets dissatisfied with the call quality of most telecom networks – I won’t mention names – then this is for you. Google is reportedly developing a “Clear Calling” feature for users with Android devices.
It was discovered in the latest Android 13 Quarterly Platform Release (QPR1 Beta), as per a report by Android Authority, based on the findings by Mishaal Rahman.
Rahman managed to enable the settings for the feature on his phone manually. They show that Clear Calling will work for calls on most mobile networks. However, it won’t be available for Wi-Fi calling. The settings page also notes that contents from your calls will not be sent to Google, so you can rest assured your conversations will remain private.
Google Meet’s Noise Cancellation feature is also meant to remove the background noises like typing sounds, the sound of a door closing, noise from a nearby construction site, etc. With Clear Calling, Google may expand upon the sources of noise to improve an Android smartphone’s regular call quality by adding the ability to filter out the noise coming from the road, background talking, etc.
You can enable Clear Calling on your Android phones right now if you have knowledge of using ADB commands. Once enabled, you can access the toggle for the feature in the Sounds & vibrations menu. However, it’s unclear if it’ll work as intended right now because Google hasn’t made it official.
These days, with an internet connection via mobile data, smartphone users have the option to use voice calling apps for their calls whenever their call quality suffers over regular calls. But still, improvement in carrier call quality is something that almost everyone is going to appreciate.
