The Phone by Google app is receiving an M3 Expressive overhaul on WearOS, much like it does on Android.
The in-call screen has been updated for users to see. The end call button clings to the display’s lower border. For a larger touch target that is useful on this small screen, it is larger than the current circle.
The call duration appears at the center of the same line, while the mute and three-dot overflow buttons are positioned farther up the screen.
Similar updates occur when you dial a number. Presumably, M3 Expressive will also be added to the Google Phone Wear OS homescreen. On the watches we looked at today, this is not currently generally available.
These are minor updates that match the phone’s redesigned in-call screen. Although it is no longer a grid, the “More” menu is now a list similar to Call Assist. The incoming call screen, which allows users to choose between a left/right slide or buttons to answer calls, is the most significant improvement.
While some beta users already have the Home, Keypad, and Voicemail bottom bar, others have Material 3 Expressive’s complete redesign.
