Google Wallet is the latest first-party app to get a gradient icon, but this redesign is pretty subtle in the grand scheme of things.
The overall rectangular design of the wallet has not changed, but the yellow card is now slightly narrower. A more significant change is the visible glow in the blue and red parts.
This gradient effect and card design change are quite hard to see on your actual phone, but they are there. It’s harder to find than the Google Photos icon update.
Old and new
Currently, this gradient icon is live on the Google Wallet homepage in the top left corner. The home screen app icon itself has yet to be updated from version 26.19.
This comes before the updated icon redesign of major passageswhich is not widely distributed and has not yet been officially announced. Having an in-app search is a quality of life improvement.
Google Wallet joins ‘G,’ Gemini, Home, Photos and Maps search to accept this gradient. we saw a new symbol for Google Health last week, though all Workspace icons also a major reconstruction is needed.
