Pixel Now Playing redesign with M3 Expressive rolling out
8 months ago by baatliwala to c/googlepixel
Google spent years cramming Now Playing into Android System Intelligence where nobody could update it, and now it is a separate Play Store app. This is exactly the right call. The previous UI being described as a 'very old layout' was not an accident, it was a symptom of features rotting inside a black box. At least now the dev team can ship updates without waiting for a system Intelligence drop.

I respect that Google does its own thing instead of copying Apple like all others but most this m3 expressive stuff is so ugly. The only thing it made better is quick settings on Pixels. But that's just because because the previous iteration was already really bad.
