Google will reveal a new version of its Android design language in its next conference on Google I/O developers, according to a program of events published on its website and a Google blog post accidentally published. The I/O session title suggests significant changes in the shop for the Android design system, which will evolve from “Material 3” to “Material Design 3 Expression”. The leaked blog post indicates that Google updated design will focus on the creation of interfaces that “connect with people emotional”.
Updates of the design system like this influence the way the app developers are built for the platform and personalize their experiences for users, influencing the general feeling of what it means to use an Android device.

The next largest system update was revealed in May 2021 as “material Tu” (also known as material 3), offering an adaptive interface that allowed users to customize the Android interface in new ways. For example, if you have updated your Android background, the entire Android experience would also update to combine its color combination.
Material 3 expressive may not be such a great revision, but an iteration on the material that the language.
The leaked blog post focused more on the research and the reasoning at the base of the update, noting how people tended to prefer a more expressive design that improves usability when studied. This type of design attracts attention to key elements and important user actions, observed Google, leading to “significant earnings in performance”.
It should be noted that the company has said that this type of design simplifies the use of apps for older adults, essentially leveling the playing field for users of all ages.
