Google Rearranges Pixel Watch Call Controls as Wear OS Calling Cards Roll Out to More Users
2 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jun 4
Summary
Pixel Watch users are starting to see a new incoming-call layout that moves the answer and reject buttons from the bottom of the screen to either side of the caller photo.
Google also shifts the overflow menu — including the text-reply option — to the bottom, a change tied to Wear OS support for Android's Calling Cards feature.
Calling Cards support was first spotted in development early this year and began rolling out a month later, but the update is only now appearing on some Pixel Watch devices.
The redesign is minor in distance but likely to disrupt established swipe habits for users who frequently answer or screen calls from their watch.
