Google Telefonte embraces Material 3 Expressive (in Beta)
After entire weeks of leak concerning the Redesign in Salsa Material 3 Expressivethe Google Telephone app has actually received the new graphic design, made available to some Beta Tester of the app since last weekend.
The app was almost completely revised, already starting from the initial screen. For example, in the card Recenteach item of the chronology was enclosed inside a card and each day/period corresponds to a group of cards, anticipated by the reference period (for example “today”).
The mechanism with which the options relating to each call present in the chronology are also changes: from the buttons arranged horizontally, we move on to buttically arranged buttons and each placed inside a contrasting card (in the color of the topic set on the device). Instead, the numeric keypad is not different (at least in this phase).
The arrangement of the various items inside weaves, then grouped for Categoira, is also available in the app settings. It is here that Google Telephone earn one of the main news: the new option Gesture for incoming calls It allows you to choose between “horizontal scrolling” and “single touch” gesture.
The following image compares the old and the new user’s user interface when there is an incoming call: on the stable channel, still now, to answer a call you have to “drag” the icon with the croissant upwards; To refuse, however, you have to drag it down.
With the Redesign, it all depends on the gesture for the incoming calls you have chosen in the settings:
- Horizontal scrolling – you have to drag the croissant icon to the right to respond; The croissant icon towards Sinitra must be dragged to refuse.
- Single touch – Just make a tap on the “Reply” icon to answer or on the icon “Refuse” to refuse; It is certainly the most immediate mechanism.
Some changes also invest the user interface when a call is underway. All the buttons have been revised in the perspective Material 3 Expressive And the most “important” ones, such as the button to hump, have been made larger.
The button Audio emoji opens the relative menu upwards. The other four buttons present at the bottom, however, when selected change shape: it is the same behavior that we have seen in the renewed center of the rapid controls of Android 16 QPR1; A disabled box has the shape of a pill/roundabout; An active box has a rounded square shape. The button Otheronce again opens a menu up.
Another novelty of the Redesign invests the interface of the incoming call in the case of suspicion Spam: as shown in the following image (via Gapps Flags & Leaks on Telegram), the interface will become completely red to allow the user to notice at the glance the fact that it may be a spam call.
Everything we have shown you is currently available for some beta testers who perform the version 180.0.771769344-Publicbeta app Google Telephone And, considering that the activation of the new interface is taking place in gradual form on the server side, soon you could reach you too (it does not matter the version of the operating system).
However, one thing must be specified: it is not said that, in the release phase, everything can remain unchanged with respect to the interface that has been made available for the beta testers. In this sense, much will depend on the feedback that will perish to the development team and we imagine that one of the most discussed elements may be the new call response mechanism that, thus remaining, would go to pension The historic vertical swipe. We will update you in the event that there were novelty.
