Google Photos is rolling out a floating bottom bar on Android, redesigning navigation within the app. This change allows more content visibility while retaining the core functionalities of Photos, Collections, and Create.
Google Photos is undergoing a design overhaul on Android, replacing the static bottom bar with a floating bottom bar. This new design enhances the visibility of additional content on the screen while maintaining key navigation functions.
The floating bottom bar includes tabs for Photos, Collections, and Create, with an icon indicating the current feed on the left side. A search icon on the right enables access to the Gemini-powered Ask Photos feature.
With the new layout, the day indicator has been repositioned to a floating pill at the top of the app. This pill appears when users scroll and disappears shortly thereafter, offering a cleaner interface.
In the app's settings, users can retrieve the previous layout by enabling 'Show dates in grid' under 'Photos view' settings, reverting to the previous alignment of days.
This redesign is being rolled out through a server-side update for version 7.82 of the Google Photos app. Previously, this design change was limited in availability and has already been incorporated into the iOS version since February.
