This allows you to record custom voicemails It makes the message-leaving experience a lot more personalized than with the current Google Assistant greeting Take a Message is one of the newer Google Pixel features, having
been launched with the Google Pixel 10 series last year, but this AI-powered voicemail service is about to get better.

Take a Message which allows for on-device voicemail with real-time transcriptions so far doesnt allow you to record a custom greeting. Instead, Google Assistant will greet the caller with a generic and robotic greeting.

But Android Authority has found that one of its phones running Google Phone version 217.0.895016164-publicbeta-pixel now gives the option to record a custom message.

app alerted them to the capability, 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 might one day be able to assign specific greetings to specific contacts.

For now, though, being able to record greetings at all is a big upgrade. If you have a Google Pixel 6 or newer and youre running the latest Phone app beta, you might see the feature there, and hopefully, it will be rolled out
to a stable release soon.
