Google Discover rolls out Material 3 redesign [U]

Google is testing a Material 3 redesign of the Discover feed to the left of Android homescreens and in the Google app.

Update 12/15: The Material 3 redesign of Google Discover is widely rolling out to the stable and beta channels (version 15.49+). You’ll notice that everything is placed in a card with taller cover/header images and a simple three-dot button in the corner. You can open that “More options” menu to Save and Share articles.

Original 10/31: The current design places images, text, and buttons directly against a light or dark background. Articles (and ads) are just separated by a line divider. 

Current

Google Discover is now testing a feed redesign that places each item in a card that doesn’t go edge-to-edge. Images are noticeably taller, while you’re left with just one button for the overflow menu, which is where “Save” and “Share” have been moved. 

Google is also placing emphasis on a card type that notes the topic at the top with the ability for you to quickly follow with a ‘plus’ button. The double overflow menu design is a bit much here, though the regular article cards still exist.

This Google Discover redesign feels more Material 3 compliant, but looks overly busy and cluttered. We’re seeing it on the latest Google app beta (version 15.43).
