Fullscreen account menu comes to Google app, Photos, & Play Store

The fullscreen Google Account switcher started rolling out earlier this year, and the menu redesign is now coming to the remaining first-party apps.

Your email address appears first and that’s followed by a larger profile avatar. There’s then a “Hi” greeting with a pill-shaped “Manage your Google Account” button, while the expandable “Switch account” dropdown rounds things out. If you scroll down, the photo gets docked alongside the address at the top. That arrangement is in place everywhere, with “More from” unique to every application that has additional menu items.

“More from Google” sees the Search app list “Search history” and “Delete last 15 minutes” first. “Settings” is next and that’s followed by:

  • Search personalization
  • SafeSearch
  • Results about you
  • Saves & Collections
  • Your profile 
  • Help & feedback 

Like the rest of the app, there is no Dynamic Color theming. This fullscreen Account menu is widely rolled out to Google app 16.37+ in the stable channel.

L-R: Google app, Play Store, Google Photos

In the Play Store, “Manage apps & device,” “Notifications & offers,” and “Payments & subscriptions” are up first like before. Overall, there’s not much of a reorganization, with this redesign not yet widely rolled out. 

Google Photos elevates the card for available storage above Backup status. “More from Photos” also lets “Free up space on this device” stand apart from “Your data in Google Photos,” “Photos settings,” and “Help & feedback.” Availability is still limited today.
