If you are also upset with the latest update of Android phones, in which the look of the dialer has changed, then know, you are not alone. Google's recent Phone app update brings Material You styling, new gestures, and a redesigned call screen. Even though it seems like a complete makeover, many users are not happy.

This update is not limited to the Phone app, but it has also changed the way of receiving calls, moved the buttons around, and made it difficult to access contacts. Many Android users were used to the old design, especially parents who just want things simple. For all of them, this change has been annoying.

If you are also in the same boat and want the classic dialer back, then the good news is that with some quick steps, you can bring back the old phone dialer. Here we are going to tell you the step-by-step method.

How to get the old Google Phone app UI back on Android?

The Phone app is a system app, so it cannot be completely removed. But you can uninstall its updates and go back to the factory version, which usually returns the old design. To do this:

First, open the Google Play Store and go to the Profile section.

Go to Settings and select Network preferences, then select Auto-update apps.

Next, go to your phone's Settings and open Apps.

Go to App management and search for Phone by Google.

Here, clear the cache and data so that the old UI of the Phone app returns.

Disadvantages of turning off auto-updates
Before turning off auto-updates, know that there are some limitations to it. Once you turn off auto-updates, your device is at increased risk of security threats. This is because the phone will not automatically download new updates, which may contain bug fixes or patches to protect against malware. Also, you will be deprived of new updates.
