- Google has slowly been updating the look of the floating action button (FAB) for Material 3 Expressive across its Android apps.
- Last year we saw new FAB designs getting ready for Google Drive and Google Docs.
- Now it looks like Google’s preparing the same change for Keep, as well.
Wouldn’t it be something if Google updated all its apps in the same way, all at once? Instead, the company has taken a very piecemeal approach towards implementing even the broadest changes, and that’s something that’s been more clear than ever with its deployment of Material 3 Expressive. As we continue to track all the little ways Google is updating its app library to showcase the design language, we’ve got an early look at some new tweaks in the works for Google Keep.
Android apps of all kinds feature a UI design element called the floating action button, or FAB. You’ve no doubt interacted with FABs countless times, tapping one to compose a new message in Gmail or add a new event to your Google Calendar. Last year, as Google started updating apps for Material 3 Expressive, we saw the company begin to update the look of the FABs in apps like Google Drive and Google Docs.
