Are you an audiophile? Then, hurry up and download the app now! By including the Material 3 slider in Google Messages, the company is offering us a look at what it might look like in the future. Instead of thin, lines and circles borrowed from another period, there was a call for something new and contemporary. A thick animated timeline that’s down to the pill shape for a dragging handle to clear your message. This is very easy because there is a full point at the end that shows how many people you have heard.
This new slider may seem like a small detail, yet with this changing slider you can get a hint of things to come for Google Messages. The current design is not Material 3-compliant; That is to say, it doesn’t completely match Google’s latest design language. And that’s just one of the possibilities as the toggle switch remains in the old rather than the more updated style. However, this rebadged slider will provide a new flavor to your listeners that will make them feel like audio is an integral part of the messaging app experience.
This is beta or it is being rolled out gradually in the latest version of Google Messages today. It may not be a complete overhaul of the overall look, but it’s great to see Google trying out this new modern look for the first time. And hey, who knows? What we need to consider here is that the leaked information about the rumored audio recorder redesign with noise cancellation and ‘Voice Moods’ should be a glimpse of something better to come.
