Google App's Voice Search Gets a Facelift with AI-Inspired Design.

Google is currently testing a significant redesign of its voice and song search interface within the beta version of its Android app. The new look, which is being rolled out as a server-side test to a select group of users, signals a shift towards a more unified design language that aligns with the company's AI-centric features.

The most noticeable change is a new pulsing, generative animation that replaces the previous "listening..." screen. This new animation is similar to the one seen in Google's AI mode, and the updated UI is stripped of the previous and suggested searches that once cluttered the main voice search screen. The new design presents a clean, simple query, asking users, "What's on your mind?"

The Voice Search Overhaul: Old vs. New.

The most noticeable change is the shift from a passive, text-based interface to a more dynamic, AI-inspired design.

• Current Look: The old screen simply displayed a "Listening..." message and showed a list of your recent searches and suggestions below. The interface was functional but static.

• New Look: The redesigned screen removes all the clutter. Instead of a text message, it features a new, pulsing animation that is similar to the one used in Google's AI mode. The screen is clean and minimal, presenting a single, inviting query: "What's on your mind?" This change provides a more streamlined, modern, and engaging user experience.

This redesign also extends to the song search feature, which now prominently displays a "Play Sing Hum" message and features the same dynamic animation. The move suggests Google is working to create a more consistent and modern experience across its various app functionalities, bringing them under a cohesive AI-inspired umbrella.
