All ofthe best Android phoneshave a dedicated Google menu in the phone’s settings app as a one-stop shop for all things Google, from managing your account to checking your backup options. For the longest time, this page has been a long list of tools that you can scroll through to find what you’re looking for. But Google is now switching things around to give the page a modern and decluttered spin.
The top part of the page that houses your full name, Gmail address, and the manage account option has remained unchanged. What lies below has received a major overhaul, complete with cards and a tabbed interface, as spotted by Mishaal Rahman.
The defaultRecommendedtab shows the Google services you are most likely to use. Like in the screenshots above, you’re able to see thatGoogle One’s device backup settingsare highlighted along with separate tiles forFind My Device, Google Wallet, and Google’s password manager —some userseven have one for Nearby Share. The new layout makes the welcome screen look a lot cleaner than before.
And if you want to access anything else, you can head to theAll servicestab which still has the full list of services, making it easier for you to find the option you’re looking for.
As pointed out by theGappsMod Flags Telegram channel, this revamped Google settings page is being rolled out as part of Google Play Services beta version 23.33.14. However, updating to this newest release doesn’t guarantee that you will see the redesign, even though a few users have got it already. You can still try your luckby forcing the update.
Besides this facelift, Google has planned a whole lineup of visual changes coming withAndroid 14, which will be released sooner rather than later. The biggest UI reform is coming to the lock screen. It is getting a slew of customization features that go well with Android’s Material You dynamic theming. And we’ve already had a sneak peek at thenew gamified space-themed Android 14 Easter egg.
