Google has began rolling out a few of its visible adjustments to the Photographs app, which embody a brand new video participant progress bar with bigger controls. Whereas we noticed a couple of of the upcoming adjustments in an APK teardown again in June, customers can now get entry to the brand new UI by updating their Google Photographs app to the newest model.
The rollout was initially tipped by customers within the Gapps Leaks Telegram group and we’ve since confirmed it by updating the app on our personal gadgets. The video participant now has a bigger progress bar, together with a vertical indicator for straightforward navigation by the timeline. The amount button now sits above the progress bar. Somewhat than utilizing the pause button within the middle of the display, there’s a brand new pause button above the progress bar.
However as a substitute of holding down on the left or proper facet of the video to regulate video playback pace and quick ahead and rewind, the up to date participant lets you double faucet on the left or proper of the video to skip forward or rewind by 5 seconds. With extra faucets, you possibly can skip forward or rewind additional, with 5 seconds added per faucet.

Google is at present engaged on a bunch of redesigned parts for different apps which embrace the Materials 3 Expressive design language. These embody updates to Gmail, Cellphone, Meet, and lots extra.
