The <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/phoneapp\/thread\/351208139?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">test is gradually rolling out<\/a> to some of Google\u2019s public beta users, and also includes some style changes that align with Android\u2019s more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/664316\/android-material-three-expressive-design-ui-io\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">youthful Material 3 Expressive<\/a> design language.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">For starters, Google has changed up the bottom menu bar, replacing the \u201cFavorites,\u201d \u201cRecents,\u201d \u201cContacts,\u201d and \u201cVoicemail\u201d tabs with just three options: \u201cHome,\u201d \u201cKeypad,\u201d and \u201cVoicemail.\u201d Under the new Home tab, you\u2019ll find your favorites in bubbles at the top of your screen, but it\u2019s now followed by a call log list that no longer nests calls from the same person under one entry. That means you\u2019ll see each call as a new entry (even if it\u2019s your mom calling you five times in a row when you don\u2019t pick up).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Google is also trying out a new gesture that will allow you to swipe horizontally to answer or decline a call. The company says it\u2019s testing this feature based on feedback that this will help prevent accidental declines or answers while taking your phone out of your pocket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Aside from those changes, you\u2019ll also see some visual updates in the app, with the incoming call page now framing your contact in a more whimsical, lumpy circle. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google is freshening up its Phone app with a new interface that\u2019s supposed to make it easier to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2718,9470,2722,611,50,242,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-10959","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-android","9":"tag-apps","10":"tag-google","11":"tag-mobile","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-tech","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114738867937185063","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
