What will Material Design for Google Hangouts look like? Probably a little like this

Most all the Google apps have had an update to their UI graphics the last few months, but many of them appear to only have a partial update to the guidelines laid out for Material Design apps. Chief among these partial updates has been the Google Hangouts app which did get quite a big change to its look but still has a few changes to come, mainly to do with its side bar which in no way resembles the Material Design slide out menu in Google’s other apps. Well, it looks like we’re going to get a sneak peek today ofÂ Material Design for Google Hangouts after Android Police managed to get their hands on some screenshots.

We have yet another change to Hangouts‘ primary colour, a slightly different hue of green (old: left, new: right):

AndÂ it looks like the side bar has changed as well to use the newer account management which has profile picture bubbles for each of your accounts. Of course, there is also the new Hangouts icon, which you will see at the top of this post, looking a little flatter, and a little greener. As an aside, the Hangouts update we inevitably get which include these updates may not look exactly like this, but it’s a pretty good indication of how it might turn out and where Google eventually intends to take Hangouts.
