Dialer App disappearing: Some users are reporting their dialer app disappearing after upgrading to 4.4.3, if this has happened to you, it can be solved by navigating to Settings > Apps > All > Phone and click “Uninstall Updates” then proceed to click Yes when it asks you to “Replace this update with the factory version”
As you can see there haven’t been a whole lot of UI changes except the new Dialer app, the update contains mainly bug fixes and performance improvements.
