Happy day for everyone who has a display cutout and uses the Google Phone app! Google is rolling out a fix that eliminates the black status bar on the call screen. So now it's colored all over the page!
The first Google device with a display cutout was the Pixel 3 XL, which was released in 2018, and after the Pixel 4a the notch was in every device. It could be said that's how long it took the company to notice this issue. And not without our help.

Google Contacts will soon get a redesigned tablet UI.
The bottom navigation bar will now be replaced with navigation rail on the left, where the floating action button has also moved.
The entire interface will be implemented on the principle of two panels: on the left list of contacts, on the right either information about the selected contact, or a stub "select a contact from the list to see details".
This change is not yet available to users and was discovered by Mishaal Rahman, which he shared on his Telegram channel.

Google Phone app has fixed the navigation bar color on the new In Call UI.
At the end of September, the company widely distributed an updated In call UI, in which the buttons have moved to a new container located at the bottom of the page. Many users were immediately struck by the system's differently colored navigation bar.
Now with the new app beta v.94.0.487380581-publicbeta the company has fixed this problem.
But even here it was not without our bug report. Combined with a fix for the problem with the black status bar on devices with display cutouts, this page now offers a truly immersive experience on any device.

The November Android security patch fixed a vulnerability that allowed you to unlock your phone using your SIM card.
Developer David Schütz was able to discover a vulnerability that allowed him to bypass the lock screen on his Pixel 5 and 6 by resetting the SIM card's PIN using the PUK code by next scenario:
1. Lock the device
2. Get the biometric authentication turned off (so that the device asks for the lock screen key only)
3. Pull out the SIM card tray and insert it with the SIM card. (The SIM card PIN entry screen appears)
4. Perform the process of resetting the SIM card PIN using the PUK code. Enter a new PIN code.
5. Your device is unlocked without entering the lock screen key!
David Schütz received $70,000 from Google for discovering the problem.
The fix for CVE-2022-20465 vulnerability has already been uploaded to AOSP Android 10-13, and was rolled out with the November security patch.

When you make a call through your Google Phone, do you still see the ongoing call chip in the status bar and an updated notification design?
