The Google Play Store has a pretty modern look that’s consistent with Google’s design language. However, there are still a few elements of the UI that could use an update. Well, according to a new report, the bottom sheet in the Google Play Store will get a new design.
This revamp comes right after the same was done for Google Maps. Currently, if you try to install an app from the discovery feed or if you are prompted to update an app, you will see a little panel slide up from the bottom of the screen. This is the bottom sheet, and it gives you a few quick options that you can perform right then and there.
The bottom sheet UI doesn’t quite reflect the most modern Material You aesthetic. Sure, it has rounded buttons, but the corners of the panel itself are still flat, which is something that Google is looking to change with its apps. The rounded corners are in, and they’re what Google wants for its ecosystem of apps.
Google Play Store is getting a revamp of its bottom sheet
Right now, Google is in the process of changing up the way its bottom sheet looks. This is going to give it a more modern look. Looking at the screenshots below, we see that the panel will have larger buttons. Also, the corners of the panel will be very rounded. Lastly, you will see a little bar at the top of the sheet that will let you drag it up to have it fill the screen. To get rid of it, you would swipe downward.
This was discovered in Google Play Store version 39.8. However, the latest stable version of the Google Play Store is version 39.7. So, it’s going to be a little wait before this change makes it to the public. When it arrives, it will make using the Google Play Store a little bit better.
