Files by Google is also getting a fresh coat of Material 3 Expressive (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing Material 3 Expressive components in a beta version of its Files app. Changes include centrally placed, redesigned floating buttons, larger thumbnails, and a new progress bar design. These design features are not yet live and may change before public release in the stable branch of the app. Material 3 Expressive is going to be the flavor of the season, and we’ll see plenty of Google and third-party apps update to incorporate Android’s new UX design language. The broader rollout of Material 3 Expressive will happen later in the year, but the design is expected to debut with Android 16 QPR1 beta. Ahead of these releases, several Google apps have started adopting Material 3 Expressive components, and the Files by Google app is the latest one to jump on the bandwagon.
