[design] [snap decisions] incoming call notification swipe looks like buttons

[Patrick Hetu]

I think the incoming call notification should be made more obvious that we are not dealing with buttons but a swipe.
The arrows are not enough. Maybe a line in the background could make the swipe obvious like this:

  [dismiss]--------<->--------[answer].

The long term solution is to make the incoming call notification full screen. The current implementation will be changed visually to make it understandable that a swipe interaction is required to accept or decline the call.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Some user testing feedback on this one:
"The new design caused issues in answering phone calls, because:
- no clear visual cue to indicate how to answer a call, and as a result, testers failed to answer calls. They had to call themselve to figure out how to answer a call.
- while testers appreciated such design reduced the risk of accidentally answering/rejecting an incoming call, the swipe gesture to activate was harder to perform than a tap, especially it was unclear to testers the exact position where they should start the swipe gesture.
- the high placement of the buttons reduced their accessibility (particularly when using one hand). "
