After being spotted a few months ago, Google is finally rolling out the Material You redesign for the Google app on Android in beta. You will instantly notice the changes in the bottom bar as it uses Material You elements, including pill-shaped indicators. This goes perfectly in line with the new Search filters carousel.

Sadly, Dynamic Color scheming isn't used yet, and you will get the default blue accent. The indicators are short and aren't as tall as they are in nearly every other Google app that has received the Material You makeover. Also, as noted by 9To5Google, the Google app is getting the modern account switcher, after Google Messages and the web.

When you tap on your profile avatar in the Google app, it will now show the switcher page, painted with Material You with Dynamic color. The application of Dynamic Color is inconsistent and should have been available in the bottom bar as well. The account switcher page shows, your logged-in accounts, followed by Search History, Delete Last 15 Minutes, Results About You, Reminders, Your Data In Search, Settings, and Help & Feedback options.

Moreover, the Google app Settings page has also been completely revamped. It now has an AMOLED black background in a dark theme. This goes in line with the Material You settings page of other apps. Under the header, you will find the pill-shaped ‘Search in settings' search field. There are Material You toggles everywhere else as well. The new Google app is getting the new design with the latest beta version 14.4.
