A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

All stock pixels have this and I also heard that samsungs also have it too. Also, I think Apple will have it in the next update.

The stock Pixel phone app has this. If you don't use the stock phone app, you can't use this feature.

I use it and it's called Bixby. Thought most spam callers don't make it after the first phrases.

It does, Bixby can answer a call, ask what this is about and transcribe it for the owner so he can the decide if he wants to anwser
