With this latest update, the call UI will look more like the meeting interface, with call controls becoming more readily available. In-call messaging is now supported so you can share links and rude comments, if you’re so inclined, while you’re muted. Emoji reactions will also be available in group calls, you’ll be able to stack effects like backgrounds and filters, and screen sharing will be an option in calls, too.

We’re not all as excited about showing our faces on a call as we were in, say, 2020. To that end, Google is updating the mobile app interface for a better audio-only experience with bigger buttons. The company also claims you’ll be able to easily switch a call from your PC to your Android phone or tablet.

This update is one more step in the slow, unsteady rollout of the combined Duo and Meet experience. The new version is rolling out slowly, and everyone on your call will need to be running the updated app version to use the new features. It might be a minute before you see those new features come through.
