What's in it for Google?
- esalman 3y agoThey can sell more Pixel phones.
- jjoonathan 3y agoYeah. I ragequit Android when they went back on photo storage promises but wowza I did not think that Apple would be so bad at handling spam. Unless they get their act together I am ragequitting the Apple ecosystem back to Android for my next phone.
- ajhurliman 3y agoIsn’t that more of a carrier thing?
- jjoonathan 3y agoThe phone changed but the carrier and phone number didn't. Pixel's robocall screening was evidently like that meme with the soldier blocking the arrows.
- esalman 3y agoFor me spam is at the bottom of the list of things Apple can't handle.
- sudobash1 3y agoPeople buying their phone?
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoOh. Is that also why they continue to remove features that I use?
- thatfunkymunki 3y agoThe answer to this question is probably also yes, regardless of how orthogonal it is to the previous question.
- plagiarist 3y agoKnowing every inbound call made to that number and collecting ML training data.
- fluidcruft 3y agoIt decreases user availability to non-Google advertising vectors. I would also assume that if Google can figure out who's trying to sell what to you, they can use that to better funnel ads your way on their own platform.
- kramerger 3y agoIt's part of Googles strategy for adding human-level AI to Google Assistant and Android. See the restaurant reservation demo from Google IO 2018.
