In this guide, we will show you the steps to enable full screen contact photos on incoming calls on your Android device. During the earlier days of Android, this used to be the default feature in nearly every device. However, with the UI now inclining more toward a minimalistic approach, these features were among the first ones to face the axe as they were labeled as unnecessary and unwanted additions to the calling screen.
However, there are still a subset of users who would like to enable these full screen contact photos on incoming calls on their Android device. If you are among welcome them, then this guide will help you get this job done. Follow along.
How to Enable Full Screen Contact Photo on Incoming Calls
There doesn’t exist any native built-in option in numerous OEM’s default dialer apps, including the Google Dialer. However, there does exist a nifty third-party app that will help you checkmark this requirement with ease. Moreover, apart from the large or full-screen photos/caller ID, it beholds tons of additional features as well. Moreover, the app has firmly established itself as the absolute best in this domain and has been going quite strong over the past 8+ years.
However, the app isn’t available on the Play Store, you’ll have to download it from XDA. This might be a deal breaker for some as we are dealing with a contact app, which requires access to all your contacts apart from the fact that it will obviously act as the default dialer app. But if it’s fine from your end, then proceed with the below steps right away:
- Download and install the True Phone app from their official XDA page
- Then launch it and give it the required permissions.
- Now tap on the overflow icon at the bottom right and select Settings.
- Then go to Incoming/Outgoing Calls > Incoming Call Screen.
- Now select Full Size under Photo Style [or customize it as per your liking].
That’s it. These were the steps to enable full screen contact photos on incoming calls on your Android device. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
