Verified Calls is now available to all android users, but disabled by default. So here’s how to enable it on your Android phone.
If you turn on the Verified Calls feature on your Android phone, it will display the caller’s name, company logo, the reason for calling, and a verification symbol on the calling screen when you receive a call from a business. To receive this extra information on your Android phone, follow the below steps.

- Open Phone app and tap on three vertical icon at the top right corner.
- Tap on Settings, and then tap on Caller ID & spam.
- Enable Verified Calls, and other two options – See caller and spam ID and Filter spam calls.
