Google Maps redesign has begun to roll out

The Material Design makeover for Google Maps isn’t just coming to a few Android users. Google has finally begun rolling out the new look to all Android devices. The tech company first introduced this redesign at Google I/O 2018 back in May. You’ll see a new user interface with new fonts, buttons, and colorful icons in contrast with the mostly white background. The biggest new thing though is the new Explore section which shows you information on what’s available near you. And this shows everything from food, services, shopping, and other areas of interest in your area like gyms, parks, nightlife, etc.

If the update hasn’t made its way to you yet, just be a bit patient. Google usually rolls out updates in stages. Also it’s coming to Android users first and we can’t say yet when iOS Google Maps users will be getting the update but the company does usually port the features it has on Android to iOS so don’t be surprised if the iOS version of Google Maps gets the update, too.
