- Google is testing a new UI for incoming calls in the Google Phone app that is present on Pixel devices and preloaded on several Android phones.
- This new UI abandons the swipe gestures for accepting and rejecting calls and opts for dedicated buttons for those actions.
- The new UI is similar to the incoming call UI on iPhones.
One of the prominent feelings with the launch of the Pixel 9 series has been how close the Pixel lineup has gotten to emulating the iPhone in its look and feel. The new Pixel 9 series phones are somewhere between the Pixel 8 and the iPhone 16 (which, in turn, is quite the same as the iPhone 15). It seems Google isn’t stopping there, as the latest UI change spotted on the Google Phone app changes the incoming call screen to make button behavior even closer to the iPhone.
With the latest Phone app update, v145.0.672690850, Google is testing a new UI for the incoming call screen.
