        I think it is on android in the ‘phone’ app, but many other manufacturers have their own default apps, so it’s not as common for them to use it. Also, I think it was exclusive for a while since only pixels had Android 12 when the feature came out. I think now anyone can use it but I have a pixel and can’t really confirm that.

        No, its the google dialer and messenger.

        Messenger is safe becuase of RCS (assuming Thats what youre using) gets iffy with the dialer though. Robokiller is really good as well, us, it fucks with the scammers, and has challenges for unknown numbers.
