  • Google Photos could soon receive a redesigned homepage that follows Android’s new Material 3 Expressive design language.
  • The updated homepage will replace the app’s name at the top with its icon and introduce a new loading animation.
  • The redesigned homepage is expected to arrive later this year, and Google could make further changes before it hits the stable channel.

Google Photos is set to receive a visual revamp in line with Android’s new Material 3 Expressive design language. Thanks to an official survey, we first got a peek at the app’s redesigned homepage earlier this year. We’ve now spotted the updated interface in the latest Google Photos release (version 7.30) and enabled it manually to give you an early look ahead of the rollout.
