The phone app still shows message symbol even after message is deleted. Can't tell if missed calls, no dot anymore. Some calls don't ring. Hit or miss if can screen call. Allows blocked calls to still call. Verizon tried to help reset so would not loose numbers but reset did not work. I have Verizon but i feel like Google is taking over apps. I had Verizon phone app and now Google is in control over it but I don't recall ever giving permission or switching.

The incoming call spontaneously does not work-- While the phone rings, I cannot see who is calling, nor see how to pickup, or ignore the call or anything else you would expect from an incoming call. It is inconsistent. Sometimes the caller name renders, sometimes all white, sometimes a frozen image. Sometimes it works properly. I would say this is a showstopping bug, and needs to be resolved. I've restarted and cleared cache/data to no avail. I am on the latest Android available on a Pixel 6XL

I could not set up the phone to answer incoming calls, which was very frustrating. I followed all the recommendations below before I left my initial 1 star review with no effect. A message briefly flashed about the drive app being on after a few swipes down when a trial call was made. My problem with the phone is the way that messages are conveyed quickly and are hard to retrieve. The drive app was accidentally set and prevented the phone app (and many others) from working.

On my Pixel 7, I have as much failure as success with the phone App. Calls often don't ring through to me... or ring once and disappear, messages arrive days late, the App insists on choosing horrible cell service instead of strong Wi-Fi, etc. It's the worst cell phone experience I've had. I gave two stars instead of one because I can call out most of the time, and that's rather useful.

Nearby search is not working. Search results don't come up. When I search in the phone app only contacts show up, when searching places no results show up. I have location services turned on. I tried clearing cache which didn't help. Typing the city in phone search will add results to search. So it's something with location services not working. Tried rebooting. This has happened on multiple Pixel phones. Not a hardware issue. This is happening to other Pixel Users as well.

trying to figure out a way to have custom ringtones. not as easy as on the Galaxy phones. (This issue was resolved but since I can't put a new rating, I'll continue from here). Ever since the most recent update, call screening has disappeared. I've followed instructions of clearing cache and memory, restarting, closing the app, etc. Nothing has worked which is disappointing because the screening feature was the best reason to own a Pixel.
