Previously, Google intentionally turned off this feature for the Google Phone app by reverting to the floating bubble. Thus, the chip in the status bar could only be seen when calling in third-party apps such as Meet or Telegram.
However, starting in the second half of the summer, users slowly began to get the chip back. And now it has started to roll out to everyone. In addition, a couple of days ago, Google even officially reported on fixing the problem on Issue Tracker.
