TL;DR
- Google has updated the Android Package Installer with the new Material 3 Expressive design language to match the rest of the OS.
- The redesigned dialog centers the app name and icon while using distinct filled and elevated button styles to improve usability.
- You will need to install the Android 16 QPR2 update to see the changes, as this component cannot be updated via Google Play System Updates.
With the first quarterly release of Android 16, Google completely revamped the operating system’s UI to introduce its new Material 3 Expressive design language. From the notification panel to the Settings app to the lock screen and beyond, Google redesigned nearly every system interface visible to the user. However, Android is a huge OS, so Google missed a few parts during the initial overhaul, such as the Package Installer that handles sideloading apps. With Android’s latest update, the Package Installer has finally received its Material 3 Expressive redesign, too.
