- Google is redesigning the account switcher for its apps.
- The new design looks similar to the web version.
- We were able to activate the new UI.
Back in August, we shared that strings of code in several apps suggested Google was working on redesigning the UI for the account switcher. At the time, we only had information from the strings to understand how the UI would look. Now, we have managed to activate the new account switcher UI.
Currently, when you tap on your profile in a Google app on mobile, a pop-up is displayed that contains your primary account, a “Manage your Google Account” button, other connected accounts, an “Add another account” button, and a “Manage accounts on this device” button. Based on our teardown from last month, we expected that the UI would be altered to resemble the web version, offering a cleaner look overall.
