## Google Messages completes Material 3 redesign with updated account menu
The account menu was the last non-Material 3 Expressive aspect of Google Messages and it has now been updated.
Like all other Google apps, tapping on the account avatar in the top-right corner now opens a fullscreen page instead of an overlay that let you see the app’s top bar and two or so conversations at the bottom.
The first grouping under “More from this app” lets you access Your profile, archived, Spam & blocked, Mark all as read, and Device pairing. Then there’s Your data in Messages, Messages settings, and Help & feedback, with M3 Expressive containers leveraged.
Old vs. new
The account switcher appears at the top of the app, consistent with apps like Gmail and YouTube.It’s arguably needless in Google Messages, as the app doesn’t inherently require multiple accounts for core functionality.However, it standardizes the experience across Google’s ecosystem.
we’re seeing this redesigned account menu widely rolled out with Google Messages 20250922_00_RC00+ in both the stable and beta channels.
Google Contacts recently received an update with a “Last sync” indicator and settings adjustments. interestingly, the Phone by Google app currently doesn’t include a Google Account switcher.
