Don’t like picking up the phone when a random number is calling you? That’s why you need a Caller ID app for Pixel 3. A Caller ID app will take that number, look for it in its database, and hopefully find you a name and location before you pick up the phone. It makes it easier on whether or not to press that Deny Call button.
Not sure what Caller ID app for pick up for the Pixel 3? Here’s some of our favorites.
Hiya
Hiya comes in as first up on our list of best Caller ID applications because it’s a great, no-frills ways of identifying callers. Hiya will have no issue identifying phone numbers that aren’t in your address book, hopefully being able to give you a name and location of the person trying to call you. It makes it easy to ignore people that you don’t want to talk to at the moment. Like many Caller ID apps out there, Hiya also has a neat spam database, notifying you have potential spam callers or telemarketers.
We really like Hiya because it’s one of the few Caller ID applications that is offered for free and isn’t supported by advertisements.

Truecaller
Truecaller is one of the most popular Caller ID applications out there. It’s got a ton of downloads, and there around 250 million phone numbers in its database. Suffice to say, it should have no problem identifying almost anyone that’s trying to reach you. On top of that, numbers are constantly being added to their database, so it’s always expanding and able to identify more as time goes on.
What we really like about Truecaller is its ability to steer away spam callers. They also have a database of potential spam numbers, so when one of those numbers try to call you, Truecaller notifies you so that you can deny the call or permanently block that number. If that number makes it through, you can report it as spam, and Truecaller will add that one to its spam database as well.
Truecaller has plenty of other neat features that make it standout. As you might imagine, you can blacklist numbers, but you can also record phone calls and use the app as a safe way to transfer money back and forth.

Showcaller
Showcaller comes in as next up on our list. It’s pretty similar to Truecaller in both design and functionality. Showcaller with a fairly large phone number database should be able to recognize almost any phone number trying to call you, whether it be a landline or mobile device. Showcaller is perfect for those that don’t have a whole lot of space on their phone — it’ll only take up around 4MB of space on your phone.
This Caller ID app should have no problems blocking spam callers either. It has a large spam database, so it shouldn’t have trouble notifying you of numbers that you don’t want to talk with. And if a spam numbers gets through, you can report it to have it added to Showcaller’s spammer database. The neat thing about this Caller ID app is its ability to blacklist numbers. Is there someone you don’t want cooling you? Just blacklist the number and it won’t reach you again.

Supercaller
Supercaller is next up on our list. This is your standard Caller ID application, so it should have no issue recognizing or identifying numbers that you aren’t familiar with. On top of that, Supercaller is usually able to give you a location that the number is calling from. Most Caller ID applications are able to identify numbers because of a large database of phone numbers, but since Supercaller’s isn’t as large as others, it might not be able to identify every number.

WhosCall
WhosCall comes as last up on our list, but this is still an excellent Caller ID application for the Google Pixel 3. Like many of the other Caller ID apps on this list, it’ll work to identify unknown numbers trying to reach you. WhosCall should have no problem identifying landline or mobile numbers, but on top of that, thanks to a large spam caller database, it should be able to recognize any spam callers or telemarketers trying to reach you. WhosCall is supported by ads, though you can get rid of those with a premium subscription.
