Google has updated so many of its apps to fit the Material You guidelines that it’s becoming difficult to follow. While Contacts got a facelift a few weeks ago, its corresponding dialer app had yet to receive the same attention. With the release of a new beta, that is finally changing.

Phone by Google version 70 has just been dropped on the Play Store for beta testers, and on select devices running Android 12, it includes a new look to match all of your other already updated Material You apps (via 9to5Google ). The floating action button is now a squircle (yes, unfortunately that’s the word), as we saw in the Contacts update in July. The colors in the app now match your wallpaper, reducing the amount of white space in the app. Meanwhile, the dialer call button now matches other FABs, replacing the pill-shaped button from the previous design.

Unlike some of the other Material You changes we’ve seen, this one is pretty minor. Since this is still a beta, we may see additional changes before the app reaches all users. Likewise, 9to5Google’s screenshots have slight differences from ours. Google can therefore test several design options before committing to a final change.

This new look seems to be tied to a server-side update, but if you want to give it a try, make sure you’re running the latest beta of APK Mirror.
