Muscle memory is a tricky thing. Getting into a routine of repeating the same motion, over and over, can definitely make some tasks a lot easier. But there\u2019s a flip side to that, especially when we\u2019re dealing with the evolution of software interfaces, and one little change can be all it takes to render that stored knowledge useless, forcing us to relearn habits. That\u2019s just what some Pixel Watch users may be facing, and we wanted to let you know about a rearrangement going on with the UI for receiving calls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

This all seems connected to Wear OS picking up support for Android\u2019s new Calling Cards. Back near the start of the year we saw Wear OS getting ready to embrace Calling Cards, and just a month later, Calling Card support first started rolling out.<\/p>\n

It seems that Google\u2019s been taking its sweet time with pushing that update out to everyone\u2019s Pixel Watch, though, as we\u2019re only now just starting to see it on some of our devices. And as it lands, we\u2019re also taking notice that Google\u2019s used this opportunity to shuffle around the controls for answering or rejecting a call:<\/p>\n

Instead of that \u201cpick up\u201d button down at the bottom of your Watch\u2019s screen, it\u2019s now over on the side, straddling the user photo with the \u201creject\u201d button. Similarly, the overflow button with the option for responding with a text finds a new home down below.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not a huge change, to be fair \u2014 this is a matter of sliding your finger over another centimeter. But if you\u2019re also in the habit of screening a lot of calls on your Watch, we can still imagine this might take a little getting used to. If you haven\u2019t noticed this new UI just yet, keep an eye out for it, because it\u2019s on its way<\/p>\n
