Google testing Material redesign of Google Home app
July 31, 2025
TheGoogle Home apphas gone through a lot of transformations over the years. It was originally the Google Cast app which itself was originally the Chromecast app. Now, it looks like a redesign withMaterial Designelements is coming to Google Home.
First spotted by “Quinny899” over atXDA Developers, the redesign’s most notable change is the removal of the “hamburger” icon in the top left corner and the addition of the bottom menu bar. Check out the new designs below:
And here’s what the original design looks like, in case you don’t use your Google Home app every day as I do:
The other major redesign is on the devices page, which now looks wholly different from its current layout. It seems like there will be a lot less scrolling since Google is doing away with images for each device and instead going for a tile layout.
Quinny899 doesn’t make it clear where they found the new design, so we have no idea when this update will see a full rollout. But since Google is dead set on bringing Material Design elements to all of its products (andall of Android in general), it likely won’t be long before everyone sees these changes.
