In your Google Activity, incallui signifies that your phone's in-call interface was actively in use. This interface is the screen and controls you see on your device during an ongoing phone call, whether you are making or receiving one.
The appearance of incallui in your Google Activity logs is a record of your interaction with the core phone functionality on your Android device. Google's activity tracking aims to provide insights into device usage, which can be useful for various services and user experiences (if personalized results are enabled).
Understanding the incallui Entry
The term incallui is a shorthand for "in-call user interface." It refers to the system-level application or component responsible for managing and displaying the controls relevant to an active voice call.
- During a call: When you are speaking on the phone, the
incalluihandles functions like muting the microphone, putting the call on speakerphone, adding another participant, or ending the call. - System interaction: Because this is a direct interaction with a fundamental phone feature, Google's activity logs record its activation and usage as part of your overall device activity.
When You'll See incallui in Your Activity
You will typically find incallui entries within your Google Activity whenever you:
- Make an outgoing call: From the moment you dial a number and the call connects.
- Receive and answer an incoming call: As soon as you accept the call and the conversation begins.
- Are actively engaged in a phone conversation: The
incalluiremains active for the duration of the call, even if the screen is off or you're using other apps, as long as the call is ongoing.
Example: If you spent 10 minutes talking to a friend, your Google Activity might show an incallui entry corresponding to that specific time frame, indicating the in-call interface was in use. This entry usually does not reveal who you called or for how long, but merely that the phone's calling interface was active.
