For users who still wish to have full screen contact photos on incoming calls, this guide provides step-by-step instructions to enable this feature on your Android device. If you fall into this category of users, follow the guide below to achieve this:
Native options for full-screen contact photos in default dialer apps, such as Google Dialer, are lacking in numerous OEMs. However, a third-party app offers a solution with additional features and a strong track record of over 8 years.
Note that this app is not available on the Play Store; instead, you’ll need to download it from XDA. Keep in mind that using a third-party app for contacts involves granting access to all your contacts and setting it as the default dialer app.
Follow these steps to enable full-screen contact photos using the True Phone app:
- Download and install the True Phone app from their official XDA page.
- Launch the app and grant the necessary permissions.
- Tap the overflow icon at the bottom right and select Settings.
- Navigate to Incoming/Outgoing Calls > Incoming Call Screen.
- Choose Full Size under Photo Style or customize it according to your preference.
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.
