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.

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.

Apple iOS Settings app showing “Silence Unknown Callers” toggle

Bad jokes aside, is this really not a standard feature? I would’ve thought this would’ve been more common.

That's an iPhone, my guy.

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.)

Also it is hilariously difficult to decline a call on Google dialer.

It's as simple as swiping down on the screen. I agree it's a little under-sensitive if you try to swipe down from the circle with the icon at the bottom. But you can swipe down from anywhere on the screen and it will decline the call.

Its not though. Swipe down and nothing happens.
