So when you receive a call from a friend or family member, you’re greeted by something more visually interesting than the generic incoming call screen.

??? Displaying caller's photo (from your contact list) has been standard functionality since... a long time ago. What is this trying to achieve?

The image is full screen, very innovative /s

Apparently you can also force your chosen image on other people's devices when you call them.

I don't see that being abused with dick pics or other NSFW images

Why you would call a feature that has been around for... oh I don't know 13–14 years, fantastic?

I thought that was already a thing, too, though. I've had contacts with pictures that I never set for them for quite a while now.

My ex-wife's contact keeps updating itself to a "glamour shot" she took of herself. Not really something I want to see. I just deleted her email address from her contact card in my phone and then deleted the picture. No issues since.

Google will just run AI to remove objectionable pictures from calling card.
