I am going to take a Materials 3 Expressive each day of the week

I’m a big fan of Material 3 Expressive, with its playful animations, its new blurry background results, and its richer set of dynamically adjusting colour tones. As anticipated, this new, expressive coat of paint breaths new life into the Google Pockets app, turning what would in any other case be a quite drab interface into one which’s visually pleasing and enjoyable to work together with.

I am unsure why it is taken so lengthy for Google to roll this replace out to Android customers on a broad scale, seeing as the way it’s been in testing since June, and contemplating that Materials 3 Expressive launched in steady kind alongside Android 16 QPR1 back in early September. In any case, I am glad to see it lastly arrive, and I hope this implies Google can now flip its consideration to different expressively-deficient apps like Snapseed, the YouTube suite, Fitbit, and Authenticator.
