The adventure of functions found by Google, the app that replaced the old man lasted Find my device with a view to rebrand of the location functions of devices and people from the Mountain View giant.
Google has released a new update of the app that has again changed its name: goodbye Functions findwelcome Find hub. At the same time, the development team began to implement the first elements of Material 3 Expressive.
Find Hub takes the place of functions find
With the Version 3.1.399-3 of the app, the App Find App finds it becomes Find hub Also in Italy: the location mechanism of online devices and the app therefore return “under the same roof”, given that, from the rebranding of last May, here in Italy we had the Find hub network and the app Functions Finds of Google.
In addition to the change of name, a decidedly sensible choice in our opinion, the development team began to implement the first signs of Material 3 Expressive in the app, while maintaining a certain distance from the wider Redesign expected in the future.
Specifically, we can currently see simply larger indicators of the device on the map, a decidedly lower navigation bar (below) (with slightly magazine icons) and the implementation of the pill buttons (for example the “back” of the third part of the following image) instead of the circular buttons.
In the screen that allows you to locate a device nearby, however, the lower part changes: the button “Reproduce sound” It now extends from the board on board, while before it was central with space on its sides, attracting greater emphasis to the past.
These were all the changes that emerged so far: in the future, according to what emerged a few days ago, we should attend, for example, the removal of images for illustrative purposes of the devices from the list; They will be relocated directly to the “comics” on the map.
