- The Pixel Sounds app is getting a Material 3 Expressive redesign.
- The update rearranges sound collections into grids and introduces new shapes for selections.
- The redesign is currently officially limited to the Pixel 10, but you can update any older Pixel by sideloading the APK.
There’s no better way for Google to inspire developers to embrace Android’s new design philosophy than by adopting new elements itself. That’s precisely what it has been doing. Over the last few months, several Google apps have either been completely refreshed with, or found to be testing, the Expressive theme. Another app joins the list today, featuring fresher icons and a greater emphasis on colors and shapes.
Google has begun rolling out a new interface with elements in line with Material 3 Expressive UI for its ringtone picker. This redesign is available following the update of the Pixel Sounds app to version 3.3, which was released with the launch of the new Pixel 10 series.
