Find My Device app, on Android, gets the infrequent update, while Google has not revamped its UI in many years. The same now starts changing with a big Material You redesign for Find My Device, including a dark theme as well.
While updating to version 2.5.001, the user was finally greeted with a dark theme along with a modern account picker. This ‘Find My Device’ redesign does away with the green accent for Dynamic Color throughout the UI.
Additionally, after signing in, you’re acknowledged with a list of devices that are linked to your account. While Google has removed the integrated map view. Whereby your device is visible at the top inside the app bar. On the other hand, the new list is quite simple to browse with larger icons as compared to the previous one.
After selection, the map takes up more of the screen. Whereas, you easily get the same device info as earlier. It includes the battery percentage and network. Also, Play sound, Secure device, and Erase device that presents at the bottom of the sheet.
Furthermore, tapping on the arrow on the top left enables you to return to all your device. Alternatively, the other side is home to a modern Google Account switcher. Here, the setting is just a link to Google Play services.
At the same time, it’s quite surprising that Google didn’t use this redesign as a better choice, in order to release a new icon. Notably, logo changes were made at the start of the last year. In the interim, the Find My Devices website remains unchanged today and still green.
The Find My Device redesign with version 2.5.001 is not rolled out wholly via Google Play, while you can sideload it now.
