Google has already rolled out the Android 16 update for Pixel devices, but Pixel fans are already looking forward to the next Android 16 update. That’s because the stable version didn’t bring major visual changes, but the next QPR update will introduce the new Material 3 Expressive design language. Material 3 Expressive will bring a new look to these devices with new shapes, adaptable typography, and fluid, bouncy animations.

Will it land with Android 16?
Naturally, Google has started updating its apps to match the new design. We’ve already seen updates to apps like Phone, Play Store, and even Gmail with the Material 3 Expressive design. In fact, Google has rolled out the first phase of this design for Gmail on Android, but it looks like more visual changes are still on the way.
More expressive Material design tweaks are coming to Gmail
As spotted by app researcher AssembleDebug (via Android Authority), Google is preparing further Material 3 Expressive changes for the Gmail app on Android. The publication shared screenshots comparing the current Gmail design with the new one, and the differences are significant.
The hamburger menu has been moved outside the search bar, and the Gemini icon is now inside it. The profile icon has also shifted from inside the search bar to outside. The main mailbox view now separates each email with a line — similar to other Google apps with the new design — and the compose button is now more prominently colored.
In the email view, the “Reply all” button has been removed from the quick actions, while the “Reply” and “Forward” buttons have been redesigned and moved just above the bar containing the buttons for Mail, Chat, and Meet. Each email’s content now appears in its own box. Similar visual tweaks also show up in the Google Chat and Meet tabs, such as dividing lines and redesigned floating action buttons.
These changes aren’t live in the Gmail app yet, but the app researcher spotted them in build version 2025.06.22.776133050.Release of the Gmail app for Android. However, they had to be manually activated to view. Still, since they’ve now been spotted in the code, Google could roll them out anytime.
