Google Discover Gets Material 3 Redesign
Google Discover, the personalized content feed found on Android homescreens and in the Google app, is getting a Material 3 makeover. This redesign places each article within individual cards, featuring taller images and a streamlined three-dot menu for options like saving and sharing. The update also highlights topic cards, allowing users to easily follow subjects of interest.
The new look aims for better Material 3 compliance but appears somewhat cluttered compared to the current design. The redesign is rolling out to the stable and beta channels of the Google app (version 15.49+). For more on Google app updates, check out this article on search widget customization.
Key Changes:
- Individual cards for each article
- Taller cover images
- Simplified three-dot overflow menu
- Prominent topic cards for easy following
While the redesign modernizes the feed's appearance, it also introduces a busier aesthetic. This update follows other recent changes to the Google app, including updates to the search widget and bottom bar.
