Outgoing call confirmation app for 3XL? - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

Has anyone found a good solution for an outgoing call confirmation app (to prevent accidental calls) for the Pixel 3XL? I've tried a few "call confirm" apps from the store, but haven't had luck yet in finding one that works reliably.
Thanks!

Receiving calls

Hello everyone every time I receive a phone call I go to answer it... Then my phone will ask me to press 1 to answer and 2 to send to voicemail... Anyone know what I did? It started to do this a couple days ago
you have google voice enable
You enabled call screening in google voice

To be more clear, yes, its Google voice call screening. Just get on Google voice on your computer, go to settings, phone, and disable call screening

Visual Voicemail

So the real question for me is will the Verizon version have visual voicemail available to it
There was a screen shot on Reddit of the native Android visual voicemail working with Verizon.
Oh nice that would be even better
This is good news. Thanks for the info

Was the handset SIM free or a Verizon one?

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you would choose to use Verizon Visual Voicemail over Google Voice Lite (that works with your carrier's phone# - without requiring you to use your GV#)?

I'm curious if it will work with Google Voice Lite without the Google Voice App. Having to use the app does get irritating when it stops running in background and causes delayed notification if you don't have Text or Email notification active. Also it does seem the app doesn't get updated much.
I have missed important messages in the past and now I check the Google Voice app at least once a day to make sure it had not stopped.

I haven't used the GV app on my phone in months (or over a year now) - had to check to see if it was still there To be honest, I don't think it is needed after the initial set up.
I get my notifications via an Email from GV to my mailbox, with the transcriptions and link to message - I also get a text message sent to my GV#, which results in a SMS on hangouts app.

Thanks for the reply but like I said before if you have Text and EMail notification turn off you just get a voicemail notification from native app and could use native app to check. But if the Google Voice App stops you don't get the Notification because messages do not sync with the native app.
Text and Email notification (icon) if you have a lot notification do not standout as much as the voicemail notification (icon). Would be much easier if Google would include Google Voice Lite in the native app without having the separate app for syncing.
Transcription has never worked well for me because everyone beside Robo spam that leave me a message have Spanish accents. (Funny to read and trying to guess what they really said) Google Voice Lite app has the transcription but would be better in native app.

Understood. I don't use the native app for voicemail notification, so I never ran into this issue. I just rely on the hangouts notification. Thanks for the clarification
Has there been any word from reviewers about Visual VM on Verizon yet?
I haven't seen anything on it yet
In the native phone app the voicemail tab works with Verizon's visual voicemail. I just finished setting up my phone and it works.

I can confirm that it is working yay , happy to have this feature working through the phone app, i never like using the Google voice way to get it working
Does anyone know if it works with AT&T? My vm number is being forwarded so I can use Google Voice or I would try it myself. I would like to not have to use Google Voice.

WhatsApp Video call no voice

Hello
Whenever I try to video call someone or someone video calls me on my Pixel XL, I'm unable to hear the voice from the other end. However, the other end is able to hear my voice.
Also, voice call work perfectly as intended. I've also cleared cache and reinstalled WhatsApp but to no avail.
My phone is perfect stock with no root.
Is it only me having this issue and is there any workaround?
Thanks!
I can confirm this to be happening on my Pixel XL as well.
Yes I have no audio either on whatsapp video

I also have this bug. I think Whatsapp is not updated to 7.1 sources

Google Voice Double notifications for voicemail

Hi. for anybody that is using Google Voice as their voicemail on Verizon Pixel 2 XL, are you getting double notifications? This is what is happening to me when a voicemail is left.

Why not just use Verizon visual voicemail? Works much better and is only 2 bucks a month

No need to pay extra for that when normally Google voice works perfectly. It was working fine with my pixel xl

I have yet to receive a voicemail since setting up my Pixel 2 XL, but I did start getting double notifications a week or so ago on my original Pixel XL.

It doesn't work better for my needs. It's a substantial step down actually. I can funnel multiple numbers to Google Voice as well as have different voicemail greetings for different callers along with great access to messages via the web and other devices.
I have a brand new Pixel 2 XL (Unlocked on AT&T). I've been using Google Voice for Voicemail (Google Voice "Lite") for years with no problems (OG HTC EVO 4G, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, Nexus 6P) . However, when trying to use it with my new Pixel 2 XL I not only get the double voicemail notification per the OP - BUT also my custom notification sound for Voicemail that I set will not sound despite it "sticking" in the GV Settings listing. My Voicemail Notification insists on playing my "Default" sound and also plays it twice (double)! I have tried to fix this by rebooting the phone, disabling Hangouts/Hangout Dialer, changing Voicemail Settings in the Phone (Dialer) App, all to no avail. I have never ported my number to Google Voice. Can someone PLEASE test and see if a custom sound (WAV File) works as a GV Lite Voicemail Notification? Any Double Notification? Any ideas for a fix? A bug in the GV App? Any ideas? Thanks!

I want to say this may be something to do with the GV app. I'm seeing the same behavior on an N6 since the last(? ) update.

I'm also having the double notification , the app itself is showing me to notifications
Annoying
I'm getting the double notification too on my new Pixel 2 XL. Anyone figure out if there's something we can do or just have to wait for another app update?
Same here. Double notifications, was driving me crazy. Glad to know I'm not alone. Bad to know this has been an issue for sometime!

I am getting double notifications on a Pixel XL as well.

Emergency Alerts On DP2

Had some severe thunderstorms move through the area, and got a bunch of emergency alerts(SMS) as well as calls. I wanted to disable the text alerts but the option in Wireless Alerts>Emergency Alert History>Settings wasn't there. Anyone else have this on DP2?

Search emergency in the settings and you'll find it under apps & notifications.
