I really like the improvements they've made especially with the assistant. However, I have a couple of problems. I had Truecaller installed on another phone and I could choose several assistant voices but now I'm restricted to two. And this is on a pixel 9 which shouldn't have any problems. The second problem I have is the SMS application. I can't send audio files like I used to. I can't send video either so the SMS app still needs a lot of work.

Well constructed, but it doesn't auto-block or let you "block" a number in real time. It says it will send an error signal to callers so they might take your number out, but if that were true, how are they able to leave me voicemails? It's just extra buttons to do what my phone can do natively. I'm uninstalling it now.

This app was excellent in deterring unwanted calls by using the AI assistant to target unknown numbers, but the SMS feature of the app fell short with it's complete inability to mute group texts. Deleting a group text from family isn't an option, and I need to see the group text later, hence a mute button is a basic feature on my phone's default SMS app. If this issue is addressed I'll come back to THIS app and gladly pay for an annual subscription.
