EXPLAINED: Google pixel phones could be getting a neat iphone inspired feature | Rare Historical Photos

It can be easier, and more convenient, to have a video call with someone instead of a regular voice call - especially if you need to switch from voice to video to show the person on the other end something on the fly. Google could be making this happen for Android by enhancing its video call experience in the Google Phone app. 

Android Authority reports that some Google Pixel owners have spotted a new feature in the Phone app that allows them to switch seamlessly between voice calls and Google Meet video calls with a single tap. The feature is currently being tested, so it’s only visible to a limited number of Pixel users, but it could be a preamble to a full rollout. And as Google Phone app isn’t exclusive to Google devices, there’s a distinct possibility that the voice-to-video option could roll out to other Android phones.
