Google's new Clear Calling feature is currently in beta for Pixel 7 owners

Background noise won't be as distracting.

You can test out one of the distinguishing software features of the Pixel 7 family if you're willing to live on the cutting edge. Google has released the third beta for Android 13's first Quarterly Platform Release (QPR1), according to Android Police, which adds Clear Calling for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. When enabled in the sound settings, AI will boost voices while reducing background noise on the other end of mobile calls. When traffic noise drowns out someone's speech, you might not need to ask them to repeat themselves.

Google states that the availability of Clear Calling is reliant on your cellular and WiFi connections and that it does not record call content. The beta also includes some cosmetic interface changes and a toggle for voice calls over 5G.

If you don't want to beta-test a patch, you'll have to wait a lot longer. It won't be until December before QPR1 is finally released. Regardless of whether you are a tester, you will have something to look forward to at that point. 9to5 You'll have a simple way to secure your mobile internet access thanks to Google noticing that the free lifetime Google One VPN for the Pixel 7 will be made available in that same month.

There's no mention of if or when Clear Calling will come to non-Google devices. Google sometimes makes Pixel-first features available elsewhere after a delay, but others tend to remain exclusive. You may have to sit on the sidelines if you use a third-party Android device.
