TL;DR Google is currently testing a new UI for voice search in the Google app.
The new interface allows users to toggle “Auto search” on or off.
Turning Auto search off introduces a new waveform animation.
While it may seem like Google is hyperfixated on rolling out updates for its AI features these days, it hasn’t completely forgotten about its non-AI tools. Case in point, we recently spotted that the company is working on a new interface for the standard voice search experience in the Google app. We have now discovered that this update could include a new animation.
This new animation relates to the “Auto search” toggle we found last month. As a brief recap, the new UI Google is working on introduces an Auto search toggle. Normally, voice search will process your query as soon as you stop talking, which can be a problem if you pause for a little too long. This toggle allows you to turn Auto search off, so you can finish your query, pauses and all, before the search is initiated.

You can see an example of this new toggle in the images above. The toggle sits in a pill-shaped container, immediately above the four new buttons located at the bottom of the page.
