If you are an Android user in India and recently your phone calling screen looks different, then there is no need to panic. Actually, this change has happened due to the new material 3 expressive user interface update of Google Phone App. This update has given a completely new look to the app and has made the calling experience more comfortable and attractive than before.

New interface and change

In this update of Google, many changes have been made in both the phone app and layout.

Contact and call log in a tab: Now your favorite and recent contacts will be found in the same tab. The preferred contacts will appear in a carocel, while the recent calls and conversations will be arranged in a container below.

New place of keypad: Earlier the keypad which was in the form of a floating button has now been transferred to a separate tab downwards.

New way to access contact: Contacts can now be accessed with the new navigation bar above, as well as the option of the old three-point menu.

Changes in incoming call screen

Google has further improved the incoming call screen. Now to receive or reject the call, you have to swipe horizontal instead of vertical swipes. The purpose of this change is to stop the problem of unknowingly raising or rejecting calls while removing the phone from the pocket.

  • If the user wants, you can turn this setting back to tap mode.
  • New button on calling screen
  • Changes are also seen on the in-call screen:
  • The corners of the call buttons have now been made round.
  • The call-finish and-kal button is now bigger and more clear than before, making the call management easier.

Full-screen contact image

Google is working on another feature, under which a full-screen image of the contact will be shown on the entire screen at the time of incoming call. This facility has been named contact card.

  • This feature is currently in testing phase.
  • At present, only beta testers have been given its access.
  • New design of Google Clock App
  • Along with the phone app, Google has also given a new look to Android Clock App.
  • The tall bottom bar has now been added to the app.

In place of the spherical floating button in the middle first, a new, square floating button has been given in the corner. Different colors are being used to highlight the active alarm, which will give users more clearly more clarity.
