📞 Android Call Log Update Confusing Parents? Here’s the Fix

🤔 Why This Update Feels Strange

Google recently pushed a new Android call log update in the Phone app. The design looks different, and in many Indian homes the first reaction is:

“Beta, what did you do to my phone?”

Relax—it’s not your kids. It’s just Google’s redesign.

📌 What Changed in the Call Log?

Favorites tab is gone → Favorites now sit on top of Recents.
New filters → sort calls by missed, contacts, or spam.
Simpler layout → only three tabs: Home, Keypad, Voicemail.
Swipe gestures → answer or reject calls more easily.

Looks new, but nothing’s broken.

🛠️ Solution: How to Uninstall Updates in Google Phone App

If you don’t like the new design and want the old call log back, you can uninstall updates. Here’s the step-by-step:

Open Settings on your Android phone.
Tap on Apps (or App Management).
Select Google Phone (sometimes just called Phone).
Tap the three dots in the top-right corner.
Choose Uninstall updates.

Done ✅ — your Phone app is back to the old look.

⚠️ The Catch With Rolling Back

Sure, you can uninstall updates. But here’s why you might regret it:

🐞 Old versions can have bugs.
🚫 No spam call protection (a real headache in India).
🔒 You’ll miss security fixes.

So rolling back is possible, but not always the smartest move.

✅ Final Words

The Android call log update may look odd at first, and yes, in many homes kids might take the blame for it 😅. But truth is—it’s just an update.

👉 Best advice: try using the new version for a few days. It’s safer, smoother, and you might end up liking it.
