The Blue Phone
A different starting point
Today, every phone is a collection of apps that only interact with you. Random notifications buzz you every minute of the day, and you’re the one that has to manage everything. And you’re forced to tap through so many screens, and essentially do data entry, to get anything done.
Blue is an intelligence layer around your apps that carries these digital burdens for you so that you can free your mind from keeping track of the small stuff, stay in the flow and be more present, and never feel like a second of your life is ever wasted again.
Notifications handled
Blue reads everything as it comes in, then decides what each thing needs. Routine stuff gets handled, and you get an FYI. Anything that needs your response comes back as a draft in your voice, waiting for your OK. And only the truly urgent stuff interrupts you.
Background agents
Expense reports, comparison shopping, disputing a charge, finding that Best Buy receipt and attaching it to Concur... Ask once. Then, Blue works on it while you get on with your day.
Memory
Because Blue doesn’t forget what’s important, it continually learns and makes inferences on your behalf to help get things done, without needless back-and-forth questions. And every memory is yours to see, edit, or delete.
Blue knows who “Dad” is, which airport you usually fly out of, and what your usual order is. Sensitive content like passwords is encrypted in the Vault; Blue can use it, but can’t see the details.
Voice actions
Ask for anything and include as many steps as you want. Any app, any intent, any level of detail. Unlike a chatbot limited to an app or two, Blue can do anything in your phone
Smart dictation
Blue Dictation is built into the keyboard. “Ums,” stutters, and inline corrections come out as ready-to-send text, in your own style, in thirteen languages.
Friday at… no wait, Thursday at, uh, I guess 3pm should work, yeah, that works for me. And uh, if you could uh, please update that invite so everyone knows that… er, that’s all.
Privacy & security
At Blue, we implement the security and privacy features from the top open-source, hardened Android forks. Blue is probably more secure than your iPhone, and definitely more private.
While we’ve included the most stringent security features, some of them are toggled off by default to give you the smoothest user experience, especially when migrating from an iPhone.
You can always switch them on. Unlike iOS and Android, Blue blocks ad tracking by default, a feature we all love. Read more here.
Also in the box
Blue sees the apps you had on your iPhone and installs the exact same ones from the Google Play Store.
Your memories are yours to read, edit and delete. Sensitive things stay in the Vault, encrypted and sealed in hardware.
Plug your iPhone into your Mac, and Blue reviews the transfer with you: chats, mail, photos, apps.
This is real

FAQs
The Blue Phone beta, available to order now, is a Google Pixel 10 Pro or Pro XL running Blue OS, our heavily modified version of Android, rethought from the ground up to get things done for you. The Blue Phone itself, our own custom hardware running Blue OS, is in development for the Public Launch in 2027. Here are the main ways both are different:
After backing up your iPhone, Blue will automatically pull over your contacts, message history, photos, alarms, and other settings. After setup, this data will continuously sync with the Blue cloud, so you can access it all in the Blue app on your laptop, or move to another Blue Phone in the future.
As part of the setup process, Blue sees what apps you had on your iPhone and automatically installs the Android version of those apps. In some cases you’ll even already be logged in.
Of course! Because recent iPhones and the Blue Phone use an eSIM, you will transfer the number by providing your Blue Phone’s IMEI number to the carrier.
A note on iMessages: Turn off iMessage on your old iPhone by going to Settings > Apps > Messages so you don’t miss text messages from other iPhone users. Note that you can still get iMessages on your Mac or iPad, if you have those devices.
To find the IMEI on your Blue Phone:
Carrier directions*:
* For all carriers, it is assumed that you are the account holder or have been granted full access permissions by the account holder.
Apple restricts FaceTime so it can only work on Apple products. If you have a Mac or iPad you can continue using FaceTime on those devices, but you will want to deregister FaceTime on your iPhone first, otherwise FaceTime calls made to you will get trapped in Apple’s network. On your iPhone* go to:
For video calling, we like these Android apps:
* If you no longer have the iPhone: use Apple's deregistration page — enter your number and confirm with the code Apple texts you.
Probably more secure than your regular Android and iPhone and definitely more private. We use the most advanced security features from the top open-source, hardened Android forks.
Some security features may be inconvenient, so some are off by default to match your experience on an iPhone or an Android phone, but we left it all there if you want to crank it up to 11. We like our phones secure and we hate the ads tracking that both iOS and Android allow.
We take data security very seriously.
At Blue, we ALL use Blue Phones as our daily drivers! Blue simultaneously allows us to push the envelope of what’s possible on a smartphone, while allowing us to run legacy apps so we don’t lose any functionality. Being able to build the phone we always wanted is pretty awesome, and we hope you’ll like it as much as we do!
Partly. Your Apple Watch keeps working on its own for things like tap to pay, timers and alarms, even without your iPhone. But Apple only lets it pair with an iPhone, so it won’t show your Blue Phone’s notifications, texts or calls. If you want a watch that works fully with Blue, we recommend the Google Pixel Watch 5.
Yes! AirPods connect over Bluetooth like any other earbuds, so music, calls and the mic all work.
If your Whoop, Oura, RingConn, Hume, or Amazfit Helio work with Android, they’ll work with Blue.
Yes! The Blue Phone has magnets built in (Qi2), so MagSafe chargers, wallets, mounts and other accessories snap right on.
Yes! If you liked Apple CarPlay, you’ll like (maybe love) Android Auto through your Blue Phone. Both wired and wireless Android Auto work.
You can get to your Blue content in a web browser at heyblue.com, but you can only use one phone at a time with Blue. When we launch our own hardware next year, you’ll be able to migrate your account directly to the new device and pick up exactly where you left off.
We usually push out 2-3 updates per week with bug fixes and new features!
Yes, it pretty much just works. iPhones now support RCS, the modern texting standard, and so does Blue. So when you text someone on an iPhone, you can send full-quality photos and videos, react to messages, and see when they’re typing.
Group chats with iPhone users work too, and they no longer break when someone on Blue or Android joins.
Depending on which iOS version the other person is running, a few things (like some reactions or message effects) may not carry over perfectly, but day to day you’ll hardly notice.
Tap to pay with Google Wallet doesn’t work on the Blue Phone beta yet, but there are easy workarounds:
