TL;DR
- Google has rolled out refreshed icons for three apps: Google Contacts, Google Messages, and Phone by Google.
- These icons now feature gradient coloring and updated curvature.
- They are designed to appear sharper and clearer on your home screen.
If you follow our coverage, then you know that Google was preparing a redesign for the Messages app icon. The update would bring the app more in line with the company’s other refreshed icons. However, it turns out that the Messages app won’t be the only one getting a new look.
After we gave you an early look at the new Google Messages icon, the tech giant has now made it official. In a blog post, Google reveals that the redesign will start rolling out today. Along with the Messages app, the Google Contacts and Phone by Google apps are getting the same treatment.
