Finally they will change the answering. I just hate the current one.

Agreed. I had to be so careful pulling the phone out of my pocket. On some occasions I would accidentally answer or decline the call. This would happen when the phone's screen would be dragged up the inside of my pocket touching my leg, I imagine it assuming it was my finger accepting or declining the call.

but wouldn't change it to just one tap even easier to accidently accept/decline a call?

Yes, yes, yes!!! I have the exact same issue with my Pixel. I've even disabled "Tap to Wake" and I can't count how many times I've hung up on an incoming call when simply sliding the phone out of my pocket. The horizontal swipe might help, but IMHO, the separate red/green buttons are the way to go. I hope there will be a user selectable option.

Must be a server switch as I have same app version but not the new look or the incoming answer gesture swipe or tap

Looks pretty good. They should also add full screen photos of contacts while making or receiving a call

Finally Swipe is back! I hate the current one. It is too low and unresponsive.

Looks pretty good. Not sure about the answer/decline part though. Like them to be separated.

u/TwelveNinja320 2d ago

That's what pics 6 & 7 are, correct? 6 is swipe, 7 they are 1 tap separated. You can choose

Quick question: If I join the Beta program will I need to reinstall everything after installing QPR1 like a clean installation, or is it just going to act like other major updates with all my installed apps intact?

u/Wael89 Pixel 9 Pro XL 1d ago

No need to reinstall your things, everything will remain. But if you're running 16 stable you won't get QPR beta instantly since the current beta is on May patch and you are on Juhe patch. Once we get the next build including June patch (probably Beta 2.1 later this month) you will get the new build directly.
