Keeps getting worse
Google loves to change things; most times when they do, its for the worse (like this update).
For example, it used to place calls by calling you, but now you have to call some weird number and that completes the call.
At first pass this looks to be easier, but one of the problems is that it doesnt show your outgoing caller ID number at the other end anymore, so if the receiving party is blocking anonymous calls, you get blocked (and theres no way to unblock it).
And even if the other party isnt blocking, they still dont know whos calling, so may not pick up. And they also cant easily capture your phone number, if you want them to have it.
This is made the phone feature of this app almost useless to me. Its only good for texting anymore. (I bet theyre working on a way to break that too.)
Google has always sucked at UI, and probably always will.
