AP[/caption] According to a report on XDADevelopers the new feature brings the dialer’s in-app shortcuts to the bottom of the screen. The new ‘bottom bar’ UI comes with a new added option of Voicemail at the bottom bar. The bar includes the shortcuts for speed dial, call history and contacts. The report also mentioned about a new feature that is hidden by default on the overflow menu of the app. It now adds a shortcut to the Android’s home screen and reveals the new Google Phone interface when tapped. The Google Phone app is a customised version of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) dialer and comes with features like Google Duo video call integration, real-time spam protection, caller ID, call blocking, visual voicemail, and a local directory feature that shows top search results for phone numbers that aren’t in your contact list.
