Many Android users wake up to a new call screen and number without pressing the update button themselves. The reason? The expressive redesign of Google equipment 3 takes place quietly on the telephone application. While the update promises a modern look and cleaner navigation, surprise change arouses a debate on social networks. Some call it elegant and fresh, while others argue that it is oversized, distracting and useless.
What exactly changed?
The telephone application now has a completely new face. Favorites and recents are no longer seated aside; They are merged into a home tab that shows both call history and the best contacts in a carousel -type view.The keyboard was pushed into its own separate tab, with round buttons replacing the older floating dialect. A redesigned contact menu is hidden behind a navigation drawer linked to the search bar.Even the incoming call screen works differently: a call can now be accepted or rejected via a horizontal scanning, similar to iOS, or returned to the unique classic adjustment. And once on a call, the pimples develop in the pill -shaped icons, the call button at bright red ending the attention in a difficult way to ignore.
Why does it bother people?
The problem is not change, it is the way it happened. Many users say they have never been manually updated, but woke up with another number. Familiar pimples now seem to be oversized and strangely blocked. The former minimum design has been replaced by more daring forms and heavier visuals.Social media is filled with reactions ranging from frustration to outright disbelief. A user wrote: “The telephone application was once perfection. Now, the buttons are blocked, oversized and ugly!” Another sounded: “What is in the huge mess is it?! I’m not blind Bruh !!”The Big Red End Call button is the greatest horror for criticism, too noisy, too large and too distracting for what was a subtle interface.
Can it be changed?
Not entirely, but partially. The Swipe-to-Answer function can be donated to the old style to a single noise via the parameters> incoming call gestures. However, the rest of the overhaul does not have a quick rocking to go back. Some users use uninstalling the latest phone application update to restore the old design, although this is not a sustainable option for everyone.For the moment, the redesign seems to stay there. Unless Google offers an integrated “View View” mode, users may have no choice but to adapt.For some, the new look is cleaner. For others, it seems that an unwanted experience fell into daily life without warning. Anyway, one thing is certain: the telephone application, once taken for acquired, is suddenly the star of animated conversations online.
