Google's big change to the Android phone app prevents users from “flipping” out

You might recall that last September, we told you that the Phone by Google app would rotate into landscape mode when the phone slightly turned sideways. The big problem came when someone holding their phone in portrait mode during a phone call would try to blindly hang up and the phone turned slightly into landscape mode. As a result, the on-screen buttons would move and while you might have thought that you were pressing the buttons to disconnect the call, you were actually tapping on no buttons at all. The bottom line is that it becomes a little harder to hang up on a call if the phone app is rotating.
