Before Google I/O 2025, a blog post of Google was accidentally published, in which information about Android’s new design language Material 3 Expressive was found.
2️⃣ Beyond Material 3, now it’s Expressive’s turn
The new design system will be called “Material Design 3 Expressive”, which will be the next phase of Material 3 and it will try to give Android apps a more lively and emotionally connected experience.
3️⃣ Emphasis on emotional connection
According to Google’s leaked blog, this new design will focus on “emotional connection” i.e. emotional connection between the user and the interface.
4️⃣ Dominance of colors and shapes
Material 3 Expressive will use more bold colors and unique shapes to make the user interface more attractive and innovative.
5️⃣ User experience will be better
This new system will help app developers design better interactions, making Android devices more intuitive and enjoyable to use.
6️⃣ Easy for older users too
According to Google, this expressive design can make it easier for older adults to use apps as well, giving people of all age groups a similar experience.
7️⃣ Next to Material You
Material 3 Expressive is not a complete redesign, but it is an evolved version of the “Material You” design system that came in 2021, which emphasized personalization.
8️⃣ Not for everyone, customization is necessary
Google also clarified that Expressive Design is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution. App developers will still have to customize the interface according to their user base.
9️⃣ Developers will get access and code
Developers will be taught the new design system at the Google I/O event. Also, they will be able to explore the “alpha code” and some design files.
🔟 Official launch will happen soon
Although the blog post has been deleted, the Wayback Machine has saved it. Now it will be officially unveiled at this month’s Google I/O.
