Google's endless and superfluous Android UI tweaks are the bane of my tech life


Google's endless and superfluous Android UI tweaks are the bane of my tech life

It doesn't end with Google Photos. Earlier this year, the Play Store underwent a sheets-based redesign. While the lighter layout is arguably an improvement, relocating the search bar from the top to the bottom of the screen feels counterintuitive -- especially for long-time users. Worse yet, there's a workaround to quickly start a search, but no one will discover it unless they're told about it. Google seems to forget that not every Android user is an enthusiast keeping up with the latest UI trends. For the average user, such a significant change adds a steep learning curve with minimal payoff.
