Google Enhances Song Search with Gemini-Inspired UI Update

Google has revamped its song search feature with a modernized Gemini-inspired user interface on Android. This update introduces a centered 'G' logo and enhances the sound for a more intuitive search experience, according to Android Central.

The redesign aligns with Google’s recent Material 3 updates to ensure consistent visuals across its applications. The previous four multicolored dots have been replaced with a design resembling the Live Search UI but with improved animations and responsiveness from the search bot.

The 'What's on your mind?' prompt now transitions smoothly into the transcript display, while the compact waveform has evolved into an arc that vibrates with speech. The 'search a song' prompt remains positioned at the bottom of the screen, and upon clicking, users will see options to 'Play, Sing, Hum' prominently displayed in the center.

Additionally, Google has updated the sound associated with the microphone activation, shifting from a simple 'ping' to a sound that aligns with voice search in AI Mode. This update reflects Google's commitment to refining the user interface and enhancing overall user experience, as small details contribute to a more cohesive interaction across its platform.

The redesigned interface is being gradually rolled out to both Android and iOS users, as confirmed by posts on social media. This phased approach suggests that Google is monitoring potential bugs or issues closely during the rollout.

The report also highlights that Google continues to tweak the overall UI to make it more intuitive and user-friendly, synchronizing with recent updates like the Material 3 Expressive redesign seen in Chrome for Android.

With these changes, Google reaffirms its dedication to leveraging AI technology to improve user interaction in its services.
