Google has started rolling out its Material 3 Expressive design language, like how Apple is preparing to launch its new Liquid Glass design.

Google has moved them into containers with a solid background in the main Dynamic Color. This should make them easier to read compared to the faint lines used before.

Google has put everything in containers, and the bottom bar is now a bit shorter compared to without M3.

The app switches to a shorter bottom bar. The cards and Settings are placed in more prominent locations. Google One has also removed its graphics for a cleaner app.

Just like every other app, the search app bar has changed. It moves the hamburger button and profile dropdown outside of the search bar.

The list of passes carousel now has thicker cards.

The conversation list and message thread is now placed in rounded containers.

The email list and messages are placed in a container,  with a “pill-shaped”swipe gesture.

The call screen is more M3 Expressive with a very large voice and video call buttons. The name, picture, and email address of who you’re calling is placed in a pill.

“Is it just me or is all of this a bit underwhelming? Looking at the presentation at I/O I expected more, bigger, bolder shapes and colors. Some of these changes are so small I really have ro squint to see any change at all :/”
