The Google Phone app rarely gets major updates, but it looks like a change to the incoming call interface is on the horizon.
As reported on Reddit and picked up by Android Authority, most Android users might soon see visual updates to how incoming calls are handled on the default dialer app .
A leaked image reveals the new design, which replaces the current draggable accept/reject slider with separate buttons for answering or declining calls. This approach mirrors the iPhone’s dialer screen and several other Android manufacturers, such as Samsung.
In this updated layout, the green “Answer” button is positioned on the right, just below the quick "Message" option, while the red “Decline” button sits on the left. The new design is straightforward and seems more intuitive compared to the current phone icon slider, which can be tricky to use for some users. The screenshot provided shows how the revamped UI contrasts with the existing one.
This feature is believed to be part of Google Phone version 145.0.672690850. It’s seen as a welcome adjustment to an interface that many users find less than ideal.
That said, it's unclear how widely this update has been rolled out. It seems to be a limited test, with only a few users reporting they’ve seen the change after installing the latest version of the app. It hasn’t shown up on our test devices even after manual installation.
