Apple的iOS 26公共测试版已发布，其中一项饱受争议的新功能是“统一外观”的电话应用。该功能将最近通话、收藏夹和语音信箱整合到同一页面，并将搜索栏移至右下角图标。尽管此举旨在简化界面，但作者认为在紧急情况下反而增加了操作的复杂性。幸运的是，用户可以通过简单的设置将电话应用恢复到“经典外观”，该外观保留了顶部搜索栏，并提供“全部”和“未接”通话的快速过滤功能。文章指出，虽然新外观允许用户选择，但许多用户可能不会意识到可以切换回经典模式，从而可能对新设计感到困扰。

📱 iOS 26 Beta引入了电话应用的“统一外观”设计，将最近通话、收藏夹和语音信箱整合，并将搜索栏移至底部图标，旨在精简界面。

🤔 作者认为，尽管“统一外观”旨在减少混乱，但在需要快速查找最近联系人或接听紧急电话时，反而增加了操作的复杂性，不如经典模式直观。

💡 iOS 26 Beta保留了“经典外观”选项，用户可以通过简单的设置（在“通话”标签页中点击右上角的三条线图标并选择“经典”）恢复旧版界面。

🌟 “经典外观”不仅恢复了顶部搜索栏，还提供了一个方便的单点过滤功能，可以轻松切换“全部”和“未接”通话，这是“统一外观”所不具备的便利性。

⚠️ Apple可能预见到新设计需要适应期，因此保留了经典模式，但作者预测许多用户可能会在不了解可切换回经典模式的情况下，对新设计感到不满。

Apple's new iOS 26 public beta is officially out, and having tested it out, I can confess that I love the most controversial thing about it: The new Liquid Glass design. Yes, it can make your phone feel a little sluggish at times, but it makes everything transparent (in case the default look isn't liquid enough for you, here's our tutorial on how to really make everything transparent).

But after using iOS 26 beta on my main phone for a while, I've realized that there is a feature that's almost always in the way, instead of being helpful.

I'm talking about the new, Unified look for the Phone app. It's not enabled by default, but the iPhone will ask you if you want to enable it, to which (of course) I said yes. The Unified look combines your Recents, Favorites, and Voicemail into one page, and it also removes the search bar from the top of the screen and replaces it with an icon in the bottom right.

It may seem a logical change that streamlines the Phone app and reduces clutter, but the way I use my phone, it's just been confusing. Typically, I'll either open the Phone app to respond to a missed call, or to call one of the relatively few people that I call on a regular basis. And I often do that in a hurry — perhaps a delivery is at my door and I missed the call, and now I'm frantically scrambling to call the guy to see if he's driven off already. And in most situations, I don't need Favorites or Voicemail, I just need a clear, simple list of recent callers with a search bar on top.

Fortunately, this still exists. It's called the Classic look, and you can bring it back it by going to the Calls tab, tapping on the three lines icon in the top right, and choosing Classic. Boom — everything is as it once was.

As a bonus, the Classic look also offers an easy, one tap filter between All and Missed calls on top of the screen, which isn't available in the Unified look.

Apple likely knew the new look might take some getting used to, which is why the old version is still available. But I bet there will be a lot of people, like me, who will get annoyed by the new design without even realizing they can switch back. So there you have it: If you like the Unified look, by all means turn it on; but if you prefer to stay in the Classic view, it's still available.
