Google rolling out gradient icon redesigns for Contacts, Messages, and Phone - 9to5Google

Automated excerpt

Following the Workspace and Pixel app redesigns earlier this year, Google is overhauling the Contacts, Messages, and Phone icons. Google says the “icons are sharper and clearer” on homescreens thanks to a “subtle but crisp gradient with easily readable edges.” The general shapes of Google’s communication apps remain unchanged, but the redesign brings “updated curvature and coloring to align with the rest of the Google apps you know and love.” This change is rolling out over the coming weeks via the Play Store, and is already live with the latest Google Messages beta this morning.
