Google has improved relevant Android applications related to its service, such as the Home, Contacts and Reminders apps, so that users who access these applications may find some differences that catch their attention. Since you won’t be able to see them yet, we’ll tell you about everything that awaits you in Google applications.
The updates are minor, so don’t expect big changes, but you may be interested in learning about them and even find them more practical than you can imagine. The company is constantly working to improve its service and adapt it to the needs of its users.
Contacts
The Google Contacts app was one of the first apps to get the Material You redesign in July 2022, and now the changes are more about ease of use than design.
This will change soon to make it easier to access the right contacts , so you can find your contacts faster. You’ll do this with in-app filters, like the ones already under the Gmail search bar. You could also filter contacts by company.
Although it may seem silly, it will be very practical for many people. You can see how it looks with this image from user panduu221 on Twitter. For now, this new improvement could be in the testing phase for some users.
Reminders
Now that Google Calendar is not going to have Reminders, which will still be in Google Keeps, the user interface will be more basic. However, some usability adjustments have been implemented in the famous reminder app, Google Reminders. They have been renewed to be more useful to their users. Important elements of the user interface are different in the new version, with some changes that you will notice at first glance.
But without a doubt one of the big changes is that we find ourselves again with the dark mode , which had disappeared for a while, but now returns with more force than ever.
The performance remains the same, but some details have changed and this return is important, since it favors the correct visualization of the service and improves your vision. If you want, you will be able to access the app on your mobile from Reminders.google.com.
New logo in the arts and culture app
Google’s Arts & Culture app does not change much, however, it will have a new logo that is more in line with the new style of Google services and carries the company’s colors. If you look at the logo so far it is very different, with the image in white on a blue background. At a functional level, it does not seem that the difference will be noticed.
Google Home
One of its biggest changes is in Google Home , as a whole new app is in the works. There are not many more details about it for now, but it is a confirmed novelty that several users are already testing and new great news is expected in the next generation design of the Google Home app.
For now we can find small improvements for smart home devices. The changes relate to controls for fans, vacuum cleaners, televisions, air filters and more, to make operations easier, without much data on these either. How do you think it will be when it is completely renewed?
