Gmail has recently undergone a visual makeover, introducing a fresh design language that promises to make swiping fun again. This update is part of a larger overhaul coming to Android, building on the Material You concept with vibrant colors, smooth animations, and layered UI elements. Though the rollout is set for later this year alongside the Android 16 QPR beta, Google has already begun updating some of its apps in preparation.
The Material 3 Expressive design is currently being tested by select Gmail users, enhancing the overall user experience. Only a small number of users have access to the update, showcasing new swipe animations and a refreshed UI, as shared through various platforms like Reddit and Telegram.
With a focus on enhancing the visual aspect of Gmail, these updates are set to provide users with a more engaging and enjoyable experience when managing their emails.
