Google Chat revealed its redesigned interface in November, introducing significant changes aimed at streamlining navigation and enhancing the overall app experience. The update features a new bottom bar that introduces a lively touch to the app and offers users additional menu options. Although Google announced the redesign on its Google Workspace Updates blog, the rollout to smartphones has taken a few weeks. The updated UI is gradually becoming available to users through a recent Chat app update. Despite not being universally accessible yet, reports indicate that the redesign has reached some devices, with a Google Play Store update dated December 5. The server-side backend activation seems to contribute to the gradual deployment process. While Google initially mentioned a starting date of November 29 for the redesign to take effect, the blog acknowledged that it might take more than 15 days to become visible. As of now, it has been three weeks since November 19.
