Redesigned Timers Tab
Google Clock for Android has received a redesign for its Timers tab, rolling out with version 9.1 through a server-side update. This update follows recent changes to the app icon and the Now Playing application.
New Preset Functionality
A key addition is the introduction of preset timers for 1, 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Tapping these presets immediately starts the countdown. The display for setting time has also been adjusted, with 'Hours', 'Minutes', and 'Seconds' replacing the previous 'h', 'm', and 's' abbreviations.
User Interface Adjustments
The 'Start' button is now a green pill-shaped element at the bottom of the screen. The number pad no longer features circular backgrounds, contributing to a flatter interface. For users with multiple timers, the display has shifted from a scrollable list to a grid layout, utilizing screen space more efficiently. Within a single timer view, the pause button is now integrated into the circular countdown, while the reset button is positioned outside it.
