Gmail's new Material 3 Expressive design is secretly hitting some inboxes


Here’s a closer peek at Gmail’s Material 3 Expressive vibe.

The interface swaps heavy color blocks for lighter, raised cards with rounded edges, making emails pop with more depth. Gmail’s latest update (2025.05.11) seems to have synced up with Google quietly pulling the trigger on a server-side change, setting the stage for its Material 3 Expressive revamp. Also, true to Google’s earlier teasers, Gmail’s Material 3 Expressive update brings in a new pill-shaped button animation that pops up when you swipe around.
