Google's Phone App is Renamed to 'Phone by Google' on Play Store

Google last month launched the beta testing for its Phone app, for those who want a Google dialer but don’t use Pixel or Android One smartphones. Now, the company has tweaked the name of the app, changing it to ‘Phone by Google – Caller ID & Spam Protection’ from the previous name, ‘Phone.’ The company adding “by Google” to its title is a fairly familiar practice, many Google apps have been given a similar nomenclature.
