Overview

• The feature is appearing in Google Contacts 4.61.28.792249534 and Phone by Google 188 beta, confirming a staged Play Store rollout.
• Testers can set a full-screen photo for each contact, position the image and choose different font styles and colors for incoming calls.
• Unlike iOS 17 Contact Posters, Google’s calling cards control how contacts appear on your device rather than broadcasting your profile to others.
• The update aligns with Google’s Material 3 Expressive redesign in Contacts and adds new horizontal-swipe and single-tap gestures for handling calls.
• Internally codenamed “patrick,” calling cards exemplify Google’s incremental feature deployment via beta channels and server-side gating.
