[Updated] Gmail

Your list of emails and the message are placed in a container, while there’s a prominent pill-shaped animation when using the swipe gestures.

Gmail is adopting the search app bar that moves the hamburger button and profile switcher outside of the field, which is now thicker.

[Updated] Google Wallet

“Wallet” has been replaced by the app logo in the top-left corner, while the list of passes below the carousel makes use of thicker cards. The Recent activity page has been updated with containers.

The NFC tap-to-pay animation is getting M3 Expressive. The background is now translucent with your card jumping up and down as part of a more animated success animation. Google is also introducing a new overlay for Pixel users with the double-tap power button gesture.

Digital Wellbeing

Just the main page for this “app” (within Settings) has been updated with M3 Expressive. Besides containers, the donut graph is thicker. This is rolling out with beta version 1.30.x.

Google Photos

A new backup indicator at the top of the app replaces “Google Photos.” On launch, you briefly get a logo that animates into “Backup complete.” You can drag down (pull-to-refresh) to see cycling Material 3 Expressive shapes on a background layer that also notes how much you have stored in the cloud. When something is backing up, there’s a wavy progress indicator.

Contacts can now be found in a navigation drawer. All calls and lists (including Settings) make use of containers.

The Incoming and In-Call screens feature updated buttons with larger touch targets. You can pick between Horizontal swipe or Single tap.
