The Google Phone app doesn’t often receive huge updates, but a new change to the incoming call UI appears to be in the works.
Great, they’re gonna serve ads while we take a fucking phone call next
just give us voicemail in the google phone app on samsung
Luckily Fossify Phone exists.
I use this because it has a feature that is shamefully absent from every other dialer: sending unknown callers directly to voicemail.
Also it is hilariously difficult to decline a call on Google dialer.
I use for another feature somehow missing “confirm call”
Gives you chance to double check the name.
One feature I miss from my Samsung was “flip to silence ringer”. Was great for letting spams/unknown ring all the way to voicemail without listening to the ring or making it obvious I declined the call.
My pixel puts the whole damn phone to silent mode.
I dunno what you’re talking about. Stock dialer has it for me.
Bad jokes aside, is this really not a standard feature? I would’ve thought this would’ve been more common.
Sadly, it is not standard. Even now. If only fruit company wasn’t the way they are and could be trusted. (Not a zinger at you for using their products, just personal decision.)
That’s an iPhone, my guy.
What is it?
Edit: I just searched about it and wow. Didn’t know we have alternative to SimpleTools available already. I have been using the old Simple Notes despite the news of its acquisition out of laziness and not it’s the time to switch. Thanks.
Out of the loop, what acquisition?
What a bummer. Thanks for the link.
Can we have a setting to show phone calls as more than a weird notification? I’ve missed calls because my phone was on silent and I thought I was just getting a message.
And like all android updates, it’s guaranteed to be worse than it was.
Everything’s getting shittier.
I think that is more intuitive and you can’t answer by accident
Funny, my first thought was that this would be much easier to answer by accident! Since it only requires a tap and not a swipe, it seems to me like a pocket answer or rejection would be a lot more likely to happen without the phone owner even knowing.
Yeah, pocket answers and declines would become very frequent. I already pause music and skip tracks while walking, mowing, etc.
I’d just like for the green answer button to not bounce up and down, sometimes I missed it :-/
I think a swipe up gesture from anywhere answers it? I don’t actually answer many calls though.
