Besides new firmware for the latest earbuds, Google is also rolling out an update to the Pixel Buds app on Android.
Like the Pixel Watch companion client last year, the Pixel Buds app has a new gradient icon that shows an open pebble-shaped case with the headphones seated. It uses the same blue-purple gradient as Pixel Journal, Now Playing, and other first-party apps.
Officially, the announcement explains that the app icon now has a “signature modern color palette, bringing it perfectly in line with the rest of the Google ecosystem.” This replaces the sound waves in the four Google colors.
Meanwhile, users with multiple pairs of Pixel Buds will benefit from a new Landing Page. Google says this new screen “allows you to see and select from all your paired earbuds in one place.”
Visually, each device is “displayed with a beautiful background gradient that matches its specific color, helping you identify your devices at a glance.”
