While Rich Call Display offers great features, sometimes it’s just too much. Sometimes, I just want a plain call without distractions. Anyone else feel that way?

Turning off Rich Call Display doesn’t mean you’re going back to the stone age. It can be liberating! Just think of all the surprise calls you might miss, haha!

11

Haha, exactly! Imagine someone calling without any fancy display. It’s like getting a postcard instead of a video call!

12

In the end, it’s all about personal preference. Rich Call Display is cool, but if you like the old-school vibe, turning it off might be your best option!

13

To turn off Rich Call Display on Android, go to ‘Settings’, then ‘Network & internet’, and find ‘Advanced’. There should be an option for ‘Rich Call’. Toggle it off.

14

Great tip! Does this work for all Android versions, or just certain ones?

15

I’ve found that on Samsung devices, you often need to look under ‘Connections’ first, then ‘More connection settings’. It can vary a bit! Just a heads up.

16

Thanks for sharing that! I think it’s helpful to know the variations because it can get confusing. Anyone know how to do this on Google Pixel?

17

For a Google Pixel, just go to ‘Settings’, tap ‘Connected devices’, then ‘Connection preferences’, and you’ll see ‘Rich Communication Services’. You can turn it off from there.

18

Wow, Pixel settings are so different! Why not just keep it simple? Any chance there’s an easier way?

19

The settings could use some streamlining! But if you really want to disable everything, consider checking your carrier’s app too; some features are managed there.

I’ve tried turning off Rich Call Display, but I still get those rich notifications. Does anyone have suggestions on disabling notifications too?
