Google continues its makeover of the Phones by Google app.
Back in June, we showed you the redesigned Phone by Google app. This app contains the phone keypad and access to lists showing your recent calls, contacts, voicemail, and favorites.The earlier update used the Material 3 Expressive design to make changes to how information is presented in the app. The use of Material 3 Expressive continues with the latest Phone by Google release, which is rolling out now with version 185 of the app.
The keypad, which previously could be opened by tapping on a FAB (Floating Action Button), will, after the update, require the user to tap on a tab titled „Keypad“ found on the bottom bar. The Favorites tab has been removed from the bar and has been replaced by a button on top of the Recents list. The Favorites remain profile icons, and these can be swiped like a carousel.
