Google Home has updated its bottom navigation bar for Android users, now incorporating Material 3's Expressive design. The revision features a shorter, more flexible navigation bar with modified text labels.
Design Changes
- Google Home adopts Material 3 Expressive design.
- Navigation bar is shorter; text labels tweaked.
- Update brings consistency across apps.
The updated design does not reveal additional content but aligns the interface with other Google applications. Currently, apps like Phone by Google, Pixel Journal, Google Maps, the Play Store, and YouTube still employ a taller bottom bar.
Rollout and Availability
The Google Home update was released as a server-side change and is now broadly available on Android devices. The update has not yet been rolled out for iOS devices. Google has not specified when iOS users might see this change.
