Summary
Google Voice Calling UI Redesign on Android
- Redesigned Interface: Google Voice has introduced a refreshed in-call user interface for its Android app, inspired by Material 3. The new design features a pill-shaped end call button at the bottom, with primary action buttons (Keypad, Mute, Sound, Record) arranged in a row above it. The record feature is exclusive to enterprise/business accounts.
- User Experience Enhancements: The user avatar is larger, and the 'Google Voice Wi-Fi / data call' notification has been moved to the top of the screen. Notifications like 'call participant on hold' are now displayed at the top as well.
- Consistency Across Devices: Google states that this update brings a consistent look and feel for Voice across all devices, an intuitive call layout similar to Google Meet, and improved placement of key call controls.
- Three-Way Calling Support for Businesses: The update also introduces three-way calling support for business customers with specific subscriptions (Voice Starter, Voice Standard, Voice Premier) and SIP Link plans. Users can merge calls to include additional participants, facilitating smoother conversations and transfers.
This redesign is rolling out starting today and will be available to all users in the coming weeks.
