Google is experimenting with a new user interface for its Phone app, potentially changing the way incoming calls are handled. The testing, conducted on the beta version v166.0.735169223, suggests a shift from the traditional up-and-down swiping mechanism to a side-to-side gesture for answering calls. The proposed interface includes a pill-shaped bar at the bottom of the screen, allowing users to drag an icon left to decline or right to accept a call, with a "Message" option available above the bar for sending a text if the call is declined. This redesign could affect not only Pixel devices but also various Android phones that use the Google Phone app. Previously, Google tested a different incoming call interface that resembled Apple's design, but it was not widely adopted. The timeline for the official integration of this new feature is uncertain.

YouTube is exploring the integration of this swipe-up feature into its standard video player, which is typically designed for horizontal viewing. This potential change was noted by Digital Trends contributor Tushar Mehta, who highlighted user skepticism about scrolling on long-form videos. Reactions on social media have been largely negative, with users expressing frustration and humor about the idea. Currently, this change is an unofficial test on Android devices, and YouTube has not made any formal statements regarding its implementation.
