Google is re-designing an account switcher that appears in the top-right corner of each first-party app, a fullscreen experience instead of a floating window that preserves reference.
Update 6/20: With Gmail, most of the Google workspace app are now using fullscreen account switcher.
Original 5/26: It gives the UI more space than before and matches the experience on the web. Your email address appears in a very first line. This is followed by a large circular avatar, greeting (“hi, (name)!”), And “Management of your Google account” button. The “switch account” dropdown appears next on this page.
Old vs new
The material uses a much more vibrant shade of the background dynamic color, with 3 manifestations. In most apps, Google account switcher is used for nothing but for its name. This is a case with the field apps.
Other apps without NAV Draft use this menu to list major navigation elements including settings. In these cases, you get more than the “app” to remind users to remind users.
My Main complaint With this redigation, this account removes the spatial reference by creating a fullscreen interface when it is not necessary. You are taking out very much from the app you are using. Fortunately, you can leave this page and still swipe up/down on corner switcher as before.
