This week, Google\u2019s been widely rolling out a bit of an interesting design tweak in Google Photos on Android. The app\u2019s navigation bar \u2014 the strip near the bottom of the screen that gives users quick access to important destinations throughout the app \u2014 has been updated, replacing the familiar ribbon-style bar with a floating pill shape, plus a separate circular button to access the app\u2019s search functionality.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not an especially major change, but I do think it\u2019s a good one, making Photos look more modern and providing a more predictable navigation experience. After seeing the new navigation bar in Photos, I\u2019m convinced it\u2019d be an improvement in most of Google\u2019s apps.<\/p>\n

The new nav bar is an improvement in a few ways. For one, it\u2019s smaller. Compared to the old version, the new pill-shaped bar saves a lot of screen real estate by shaving off large chunks of empty space, now showing the app\u2019s content below and beside the bar.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also easier to understand without context. The older version of the navigation bar would disappear when you scrolled through your photos, reappearing when you scrolled back up. That\u2019s not exactly complicated by modern UI standards, but it\u2019s not very intuitive, either: as you scroll, most of the content on your screen moves\u00a0up, while the navigation bar shifts<\/span>\u00a0down and out of sight. Eliminating unused negative space around the bar and fixing it in place is a clever solution that still doesn\u2019t cover too much of the app\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

Photos\u2019 three main views, Photos, Collections, and Create, are all grouped together inside the main pill-shaped nav bar. As you cycle through the three views, the UI near the top of the app stays consistent, and the nav bar remains fixed, while the…<\/p>\n
