Files by Google has received a Material 3 Expressive redesign featuring an animated multi-browse carousel with parallax effects, a centered toolbar replacing floating action buttons, and a narrower navigation rail on phones, enhancing the app's visual appeal and usability across devices.
YouTube Music is testing a new carousel-focused redesign of Now Playing, which includes actions like thumbs up/down, Save, Share, Download, and Radio. The timeline scrubber is lower on the screen, and the play/pause button is now white instead of being themed. The new design could replace the YouTube Music overflow menu, which has become unwieldy. Few users currently have access to the redesign, which was previously rolled back in January.
Google is introducing a new feature called "Perspectives" in search results that will show insights from journalists, experts, and other relevant voices to provide different perspectives on certain search topics. The feature will appear under the "Top Stories" box and will include tweets, articles, and other relevant content. Google is committed to bringing authoritative and trustworthy information in the box and will remove content that violates its policies. The feature will be available soon in English in the US on desktop and mobile.
