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