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.

Luckily Fossify Phone exists.

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?

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] russjr08@bitforged.space 1 points 1 month ago

I thought this was a limitation on the carrier you used, rather than the brand of phone? While I've not used any Samsung phones (well, none that ran Android), I've gone through various carriers and some of them have supported VVM in the Google Phone app, and others don't seem to.

I think that is more intuitive and you can't answer by accident

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, pocket answers and declines would become very frequent. I already pause music and skip tracks while walking, mowing, etc.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

And like all android updates, it's guaranteed to be worse than it was.

Everything's getting shittier.
