How does the new audio call bar feature work?
When users minimise the call, they encounter a redesigned call bar positioned at the interface’s top, providing enhanced management of outgoing calls. Previously, users had to tap the green status bar to re-enter the call. But with the arrival of the new call bar, users can now easily mute or end the call directly, removing the need to navigate back to the call screen.
The updated interface introduces a new minimise button aimed at reducing confusion in call navigation, along with revamped buttons located at the screen’s top for better visibility and distinction.
