Google’s testing a new call answer screen on Pixel phones.

Instead of a swipe up to answer screen, Android Authority reports that an alternate screen found in a recent APK features a decline button on the left and an answer button on the right, resembling Apple’s iPhone setup.

Some Android OEMs like Samsung use a similar screen (with the answer button on the left), but so far, not Google.

swipe up to answer, swipe down to decline screen, and another screen with red decline and green answer buttons.
