Google and its services are the heart of your Android experience. You can view and change settings pertaining to your Google account right from your Google settings page. According to Android analyst Mishaal Rahman, the Google settings page will get a massive revamp.
The changes to the page really revolve around making the interface less cluttered. Also, it will bring the app more in line with Material You. Right now, the settings consist of a straightforward list of services and settings. At the top of the page, you’ll see your profile picture with the option to view relevant information about your account.
The Google settings page revamp will bring a big change
While this revamp will bring a new look to the page, there’s good news for people who want a familiar experience. When you open the page, you’ll see a new two-tabbed look. The first tab will show you a collection of recommended settings. We’re not sure if these recommended settings will be the same for everyone or if they’ll be catered to the user.
In this tab, we see a grid view with large rounded rectangular buttons. Up top, there’s the Google One section showing you how much storage you used up with the option to manage the settings. Under that, we see other options like Find My Device, Google Wallet, and the Password Manager.
Google Play Services is starting to roll out a big redesign of its settings page. I’m referring to the page you access by going to Settings > Google.

This is to offer you a quick way to access certain settings. It eliminates the need to search through the settings.
However, if you don’t find the settings in the first tab, then don’t worry. The second tab will show you the classic list view for the settings page. There, you’ll have the same experience that you had before.
This revamp isn’t really to change the aesthetic of the app. It’s mostly to help you find certain settings quickly. The update is rolling out, but there’s a chance that you won’t see it right away. It’s an update that will come through the Google Play Services.
