It was the Bixby text call or call screening feature of Samsung Galaxy smartphones. You can tell it's somehow inspired by call screening on Google Pixel, but how it works is different from Google's solution. It's definitely a useful feature, but we're waiting for Samsung to add English language support for better usability across the world, until then you can translate the text using Bixby Vision or our guide.

On other phones, you can also use Truecaller Assistant to screen calls. Check out more helpful tips linked below and stay tuned for more great articles!
