- Google’s updating apps across Android to incorporate Material 3 Expressive design elements.
- We’ve identified some tweaks to the UI in Docs that aren’t yet live, but we can preview in the latest release.
- Docs should be getting the same sort of high-contrast backgrounds and more rounded screen elements we’ve already seen on other Google apps.
App by app, screen by screen, Google’s slowly bringing a fresh look to its Android ecosystem. This summer, we’ve been tracking the progress Google devs have been making to bring the company’s new Material 3 Expressive design language to its software library. And while some of that may end up resulting in big, immediately noticeable changes, a whole lot more of it seems to involve more minor tweaks to UI construction and layout. We’ve already checked out quite a few of Google’s apps where we’ve uncovered in-development evidence of these updates, and today we’re adding the latest to our growing list.
