All of the way back in February of this year, Google started rolling out a new Google Photos design on iOS that would introduce a floating bottom bar. This would mark a change from attached bottom bars in Google apps to this new floating pill shape that modernizes the styling. <\/p>\n

Weirdly, up until today, most people hadn\u2019t seen the change yet on Android, because it either had not rolled out to their device or they didn\u2019t recognize that it was a significant change. Looking around the internet and on our own Android phones, it sure looks like the rollout of this change has finally begun, although not widely.<\/p>\n

On my Galaxy Z Fold 7, the new Google Photos design has arrived with a bottom floating bar that has options for Photos, Collections, and Create. There is a separated Ask button for searching Google Photos.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

The functionality of this area remains the same, this is simply a styling change that will likely make its way to a number of Google apps. We\u2019ve already seen a very similar style of bottom bar on Google Chats. The new Google Finance has a floating bar too, but it has a completely different thickness and look. On Finance, it\u2019s more of a combo of the two bar styles.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I\u2019m only seeing this on my Fold 7 while my Pixel 10 Pro still has the old style. Both devices are running Google Photos v7.82.0.937646388.<\/p>\n

Let us know if you are seeing it. If not, well, you\u2019ll have to be patient as the rollout picks up steam.<\/p>\n
