Google is introducing one of the biggest revamps it has ever seen with the launch of a new design language called Material 3 Expressive. Set to arrive in Android 16, Material 3 Expressive is a sweeping new user interface update that aims to make the platform more visually appealing, emotional and interactive. It incorporates new motion physics, fresh color schemes, component updates and more impactful fonts to bring a fresh new look to Android, and potentially reshape how devices feel and function. Material 3 Expressive was announced , alongside new security features for “at risk” users. The company also revealed it’s expanding the availability of its Gemini generative AI models to Android-powered devices such as cars, TVs and wearables. According to Google, the Material 3 Expressive language will launch on Android handsets first, and we’ll likely see it on the next generation of Pixel smartphones, before expanding to Google’s broader app ecosystem. Material 3 Expressive shares some of the basic design elements that debuted in the Material You system launched by Google four years ago, but it’s altogether much bolder, featuring “springy” animations, newer shapes and brighter splashes of color. “With the release of Android 16, users who choose to activate Advanced Protection will gain immediate access to a core suite of enhanced security features,” said Il-Sung Lee, Google’s product manager for Android Security. “Additional Advanced Protection features like Intrusion Logging, USB protection, the option to disable auto-reconnect to insecure networks, and integration with Scam Detection for Phone by Google will become available later this year.”
