Google starts rolling out call screening transcripts to Pixel owners

You might no longer need to look at your Pixel’s screen to see if the call is worth answering. Google has reportedly started rolling out Call Screen transcripts to the Pixel 3 and the older Pixels. Call Screen lets Google Assistant answer your phone calls for you and it asks the caller the purpose of the call and you’ll get to see a live transcription of the conversation. But now, you’ll be able to look at the conversation after the call has ended with the new transcripts option, which lets you save them after the call ends. The Call Screen transcripts are accessible through the Recents tab on your phone app. You can choose any call you want to look at that you’ve screened and select Call Details. There should be a See Transcript option there. It’s unclear how widely the feature has been rolled out, though, so best to keep checking if it’s available for you. For now, you might have to keep checking your phone when it answers a call for you.

Spotify reveals users funny and odd listening habits of 2018

Spotify’s out-of-home Wrapped campaign is here and we get to see some of the quirky listening habits of its users. Like how one user is listening to a “clam meditation” instead of a calm one to get through the year. This campaign is going to be launched across digital and social platforms and puts the spotlight on 50 artists including Ariana Grande, Post Malone, and Shakira. The campaign will be coming to different countries like Canada, Australia, the US, Brazil, and the UK. According to June Sauvaget, global head of consumer marketing for Spotify, the Wrapped campaign is a “true representation” of the company’s proposition to be a “platform for discovery.” It’s also the brand’s way of saying “thank you” to its users for its impact on shaping the platform this past year.

Some of the fun takeaways from the campaign include “3,754 Laurel playlists created vs. 1,059 Yanny playlists created” and for users God is definitely a woman with God is a woman fan-made playlists numbered at 28,802, while there are nine playlists that claim God is a man. Also, someone made an “Its [sic] the royal wedding tomorrow!!!” playlist 22 days after the wedding.
