Overview
- Google detailed a Jetpack Telecom update that lets Phone by Google and other system dialers show third‑party VoIP call history and place callbacks to those contacts.
- The integration requires devices running Android 16.1 (SDK 36.1) or newer, with dialer rendering of third‑party logs rolling out first to Google Meet and expanding over time.
- Developers must opt in by registering the system ACTION_CALL_BACK intent, logging calls with TelecomManager.addCall or Jetpack APIs, and storing the UUID the dialer uses to route callbacks.
- Apps can hide sensitive calls from the system log using the new Call Log Exclusion flag, while native dialers use secure allowlists to control which VoIP apps can appear to users.
- Testing reported on a Pixel 9 running an Android Canary build shows the Calling accounts option in Phone by Google settings, signaling the integration is already present in device builds.
