Google Messages, Phone by Google, and Google Contacts get new, updated icons.
From the official release
Starting today, we’re rolling out refreshed icons for three apps that help you stay connected: Google Messages, Phone by Google, and Google Contacts.
These are the same apps you trust and use every day, now with enhanced icons designed with your feedback in mind. The new icons are sharper and clearer on your home screen. For example, we’ve added a subtle but crisp gradient with easily readable edges. They also feature updated curvature and coloring to align with the rest of the Google apps you know and love, such as our core Google logo.
Don’t worry, the functionality of these apps isn’t changing as a result of the new icons. You’ll simply spot a sleeker, more cohesive look on your home screen in the coming weeks.
Check out the conversation on our community forum for more.
