    Yes, for years. Proudly presented by Google’s datacentres. It’s not Apple inventing it again, it’s Apple making it possible completely on-device.

      There are plenty of reasons to dislike how often Android phones home (no pun intended), but not having my phone ring from bullshit calls is fine by me, even if Google retains the data. Creditors and healthcare providers can’t legally leave messages, so I’m not sure what practical impact on privacy this has.

      Don’t get me wrong, I prefer anything running on-device, but this is a weird thing to point out as a deficiency in Android.
