How to set up and customize your phone card on an Android phone

Android phones now let you personalize your appearance on a call using the Calling Card feature in the Google Phone app. Instead of a simple contact photo, you can create a full-screen visual map to display during a call.

You can add a photo, customize the appearance on the screen, and customize the name style that appears when you call someone or when they call you. The feature is part of a recent update to the Phone app and works on devices with version 182 and above.

Once a business card is created, the image and text style will appear on incoming and outgoing calls, and even when the device is locked.
