I remember when Google rolled out Calling Cards on Android. It was a cool idea – letting you tweak how incoming calls look on your phone. I mean, who doesn't like a bit of personalization? However, it always felt like something was missing, especially when I saw how Apple's iPhones handled Contact Posters.

You see, while I could change how my friends and family appeared on my phone when they called, I couldn't control how my own Calling Card looked when I called them. It was a one-way street, and it always struck me as a bit odd. It's like having a fancy mailbox but not being able to decorate your own letters!

But guess what? It seems Google is finally about to fix this. There were reports swirling around that Google was cooking up a "My calling card" option within the Phone by Google app, giving us the power to set up our own Calling Card. The feature was there, but it wasn't quite ready to go. I imagine there were some kinks to work out, some bugs to squash. After all, new features can be tricky.

Now, I'm hearing that this "My calling card" feature is almost ready for prime time. Apparently, once it goes live (and it sounds like it'll be soon), here's how it'll work: You'll be able to decide whether your Calling Card is visible only to your contacts or to everyone. That's a nice touch, giving you control over who sees what. Think of it like choosing who gets to see your profile picture on social media.

According to Google, recipients will see your name, photo, and other Google account info. I like that it pulls from your existing Google account – it makes the setup process much smoother. But here's a little caveat: your image might be cropped differently depending on the screen size of the recipient's phone. It's a minor detail, but something to keep in mind.

Here's another thing to consider: If someone already has your number saved and has customized your Calling Card on their phone, their version might take precedence. But if they haven't touched anything, your "My Calling Card" should ideally be shown. I think this is a smart move; it avoids messing with people's personal contact setups.

Honestly, I think that from day one, Calling Cards on Android felt incomplete because they only worked in one direction. Now, Google is finally righting that wrong. If you have been waiting for this feature, it's coming soon!
