How to Tell If You're on a 3-Way Call on Android & Make One (2026)
How to tell if you are on a 3-way call on Android: 7 audio cues to detect a merged call. Conference call guide for Samsung, Pixel, and all Android phones.
How to tell if you are on a 3-way call on Android? Android does not show any notification when someone adds you to a conference call. The most reliable signs are a 5-15 second silence (while they dial the third person), a click when calls merge, and audio quality changes. Only the person who started the conference sees "Conference call" on their Android screen.
