Google Search UI Refresh: Transparent Navigation and Feedback

Google Search Gets Transparent Navigation Bar and User Feedback Prompt

Google is rolling out a transparent navigation bar for its Circle to Search feature, modernizing the results page. This change is particularly noticeable for users with 3-button navigation. The update also includes a "Are these results useful?" feedback bar at the bottom of fullscreen results, similar to Google Lens. These changes are currently appearing in the beta version (16.6) of the Google app on some Pixel devices. Google Photos also saw updates recently.

Key Updates:

• Transparent navigation bar for a more modern look.
• "Are these results useful?" feedback prompt for improved search relevance.
• Currently available in the Google app beta (16.6) on select Pixel devices.

These updates follow recent improvements to Circle to Search, including changes to the activation gesture and a redesign of the search bar. For those interested in other Android updates, check out information on One UI 7 updates for Samsung devices or explore Gmail for Android updates.
