Google is also rolling out link previews, like on the web, that “allows you to get context from linked content without bouncing between apps and screens.” -Pixel Tablet preview: Google Home, Camera, OneĪ handful of new designs were previewed at Made by Google 2022 with the Pixel Tablet tease: Update 10/22: Improvements to drag-and-drop in Google Sheets lets you drag, copy, and share charts and in-cell images to other apps, like Docs. The tablet app now matches the Google One website. Meanwhile, the Home feed features a new grid of cards for available Storage, Backup status, the Cleanup Tool, and VPN state. In portrait orientation, the app uses a navigation rail, but there’s otherwise enough space for the always-showing drawer. Update 11/11: The Google One redesign is finally here with a navigation drawer replacing the awkward bottom bar on tablets that quite considerately cut into content. Google Slides will support dragging text and images out of the app into others. In Drive, drag and drop can now be used to organize your files and folders, with Google noting how this “can be done either in the two-window view or in the single app view.” Update 11/18: Google Docs on Android is getting “full mouse support” that matches the website’s cursor experience.įor example, clicking and dragging across text will now select that specific text instead of panning the entire document. In comparison, the Google Home preview on iPad uses a bottom bar and it’s not that optimized. The main views are mostly tablet-optimized, but going a level deeper into various device menus presents some issues that need to be adjusted and rethought before the stable launch. Meanwhile, Automations and Activity use a single column layout that is too stretched out, while Google looks to have not yet optimized the Settings column with a lot of left/right padding. It’s up from two on the phone app, but a fourth would probably look fine, with such a view used by the Edit/Add favorites view.
In Favorites and Devices, Google switches to a three column layout for tiles. You only see the text label of the current tab. Google HomeĬurrently in Public Preview, Google Home starts with a Material You navigation rail that makes use of pill-shaped indicators. This will presumably get updated to Material You in the future, while Google should play around with padding so there isn’t as much empty space and more content. It’s used for the Discover feed, Search results, and Collections tab.
Update 11/24: The Google app has switched to (beta version 13.46) a navigation rail that’s positioned just above where you’d place your thumb rather than being centered, top, or bottom-aligned.
