If you have recently made or received a call from your Android smartphone, then you must have noticed that the calling screen of your phone has suddenly changed. Many users are surprised that, without changing any settings, the design and look of their phone have changed. People are asking questions on social media whether this is a hack, a glitch, or a new update from Google...

If you are also in this confusion, then this news is for you. Know why there has been such a big change in your phone suddenly? If you do not like it, then you will also know how to fix it...

Hacking or update... Why did the call interface of the phone change?

The biggest tension for users is whether their phone has been hacked or not. But the reality is that this change is a new update released by Google. The company said in May 2025 that it is going to launch a new design called "Material 3D Expressive". Due to this update, the call interface of the phone, i.e., the screen for receiving and making calls, has changed.

What has changed in the call screen?

After this update, when you open the phone app, you will only see the options of “Home” and “Keypad”. The separate tabs “Recent Calls” and “Favourites” that were there earlier have now been removed and merged into the home screen.

Now all the calls coming from the same number will not appear together, but will appear in the history according to the timeline. That is, now you will not need to search for the contact again and again.

Along with this, the design of the incoming call screen has also been changed so that the call is not accidentally received or disconnected while taking the phone out of the pocket.

Why was permission not taken from you?

Many people are questioning why the phone screen was changed without permission. Actually, if auto-update is on in your phone on the Google Play Store, then the Google Phone app gets updated automatically. This is why the call screen has changed in your phone.

What to do if you don't like the new call screen?
If you like the old display more, then there is no need to panic. If you want, you can uninstall this new update. Just go to the phone's settings, open the app settings, and click on "Uninstall Updates". Along with this, go to the Play Store and turn off auto-update, so that next time your phone does not update itself without asking.

Now it must be clear to you that this is not a hack, but a new update from Google. If you do not like the new look, then it is also in your hands to bring back the old call screen
