The Google App is bringing back its modern Material 3 design for the bottom navigation bar. In the latest beta version 15.40, users will notice a pill-shaped indicator around the tab they are using, making navigation clearer and more stylish.
Initially launched in 2023, this design was replaced but has now returned with improvements. Instead of simply highlighting the tab icon, the pill shape surrounds it, giving a fresh and appealing look.
