- A new Take a Message feature has arrived in the latest beta version of the Pixel phone app
- This allows you to record personalized voice messages
- This makes the messaging experience much more personalized than with the current Google Assistant greeting.
Taking a message is one of the Google Pixel’s newer features, launching with the Google Pixel 10 series last year, but this AI-powered voice messaging service is about to get better.
Take a Message – which allows you to display a voicemail on the device with real-time transcriptions – so far does not allow you to record a personalized greeting. Instead, Google Assistant will greet the caller with a generic, robotic greeting.
But Android Authority has discovered that one of its phones running Google Phone version 217.0.895016164-publicbeta-pixel now offers the ability to record a personalized message.

Record multiple greetings and set one
A new banner on the phone app alerted them to this feature, and then they were able to record a message via Settings > Take a message > Manage greetings.
Interestingly, you can actually record and save multiple different greetings even though you can only set one as active, but Android Authority has seen code snippets that suggest you may one day be able to assign specific greetings to specific contacts.
For now, though, being able to record greetings is a big improvement. If you have a Google Pixel 6 or newer and are running the latest beta version of the Phone app, you may see the feature here and hopefully it will roll out to a stable release soon.
