Picture this: you’re chilling on your couch, binge-watching the latest season of whatever show has taken your attention (again). Suddenly, your phone rings. The nerve! Who still calls these days?
Google’s got something cooking with its new Android beta feature dubbed ‘Call Reason.’ This nifty little update lets callers flag their calls as ‘urgent,’ as if hitting that button on your phone will instantly convey a life-or-death crisis.
Let’s be real: If someone is calling you instead of texting, well, it’s already urgent enough. I mean, the last time I made a call was to summon a pizza.
In our world of instant messaging and social media, getting a call feels like someone’s throwing a smoke bomb in a modern-day party. So, does labeling the call as ‘urgent’ actually change anything? Considering the average under-40-year-old treats a phone call like an unexpected visit from a tax collector, I think not.
Honestly, if you’re going to go rogue and pick up the phone, just say ‘Hello!’ and let’s see what unfolds. Will it be important? Will it be awkward silence? Spoiler alert: it might just be your friend needing to vent about how *that* one person they keep dating is a walking red flag.
So before you hit the dial, remember, saving the day from urgent calls can wait—text me first!
