- Google has started rolling out the Material 3 Expressive redesign for its Messages app on the beta channel.
- The beta release brings design changes for the app’s homepage, chat interface, settings menu, and more.
Although Android 16 has yet to hit the stable channel, Google has already started updating its apps in line with its new Material 3 Expressive design language. After releasing a few redesigned UI elements in Gmail, Google Messages, and Google Photos to select users over the last few days, the company has now started rolling out the Google Messages redesign to more users on the beta channel, and it isn’t limited to the revamped chat interface.
User reports on Reddit and Telegram reveal that Material 3 Design changes for Google Messages’ homepage and search, chat interface, New chat screen, and settings are now live in the latest beta. However, the rollout seems inconsistent. While some beta users have reportedly received the updated chat interface, others have only received the revamped settings menu.
