In the Home feed, you immediately get the time-of-day greeting, with the Storage, Backup, and Clean up sections now higher up the screen. Cards throughout the app feature more rounded corners and make use of thin outlines.<\/p>\n<p>The Storage tab places the per-app \u201cdetails\u201d breakdown in a card with the \u201cClean up space\u201d button. The \u201cDevice backup\u201d sees some tweaks, but is otherwise unchanged today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Old vs. new<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>There are similar tweaks to Benefits, while the app\u2019s bottom bar is now shorter. Material 3 Expressive abandons the previous tall style.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the most obvious expression of M3E is in the Settings list, with no changes to the navigation drawer (or the undersized account image in the top-right corner). There\u2019s a large header, while each item is placed in a card and thematically grouped.<\/p>\n<p>With this Material 3 Expressive redesign, the Google One app is no longer using Dynamic Color. In my case, they go from dark blue to just gray. The bottom bar uses the default blue accent color to highlight the current tab. This could simply be a bug as the status and navigation bars remain themed.\u00a0However, this look is appearing on two of our devices (Android 16 and 16 QPR1).<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re seeing this redesign with a server-side update to <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.apps.subscriptions.red\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">version 1.271.x<\/a> of Google One for Android.
