Google is rolling out a major redesign for the Android Phone app. The new look uses Material 3, which brings in more expressive colors and dynamic visuals. This update is meant to give the app a youthful and modern feel.

When you make or receive a call, you will notice larger buttons and more playful animations. The interface uses bold colors and rounded shapes, making it easier to see and interact with the controls. The changes are designed to help you quickly find the right button, whether you are answering a call or hanging up.

The new design also focuses on accessibility. The larger touch targets and clear icons are meant to help all users, including those who may have trouble with smaller buttons or less contrast. Google says this update is part of its ongoing effort to make Android more user-friendly for everyone.

This redesign is rolling out gradually, so you may see the changes appear on your device soon. Google hopes that the new look will make everyday tasks like making and answering calls feel more enjoyable and less stressful.
