Following Phone, Google Contacts is getting Material 3 Expressive with a fairly straightforward redesign that is now widely rolling out.
All contacts in the main tab are now placed in rounded cards for a less flat design. Besides color, the Highlights tab is mostly the same, while there are no other changes to the “Create contact” page. The various options in Organize and search results also get the same container treatment.
Old
Meanwhile, the bottom bar is now shorter, with Google reversing Material You’s preference for taller navigation. (At the moment, the Phone app’s redesign still uses a tall bottom bar.)
New
On the actual contacts page, the Call, Message, Video, Email, and Location sharing shortcuts are now pill-shaped buttons instead of circles. Containers were already leveraged here for each line, but Material 3 Expressive makes them more prominent.
Google Contacts 4.6.1.x enables Material 3 Expressive and is now widely rolling out updated M3E Tiles.
