Google Messages Overhauls UI with New Search Hub and Pinned Chat Limits

Google is testing a major interface update for Google Messages that repositions core controls to the bottom of the screen for better one-handed use. The update introduces a new search experience that previews shared media and links without requiring initial filters, alongside a redesigned pinned conversation view inspired by iMessage. While the layout changes aim to improve usability, the potential reduction of pinned chats from 20 to 6 has drawn user criticism.

WhatsApp brings Liquid Glass to Mac, unifying desktop with mobile UI

WhatsApp is rolling out its Liquid Glass redesign to the Mac app, bringing a UI that mirrors iPhone and iPad with a redesigned sidebar, chat bar, and attachment menu, plus new Locked Chats (requiring authentication) and Communities sections in the sidebar. The desktop update closes the design gap with mobile versions, but the rollout is limited and will reach more accounts over the coming weeks.

Play Store gets a fresh look with new Games and Apps tab design

Google is rolling out a UI redesign for the Play Store, primarily affecting the Games and Apps tabs. The update features pill-shaped tabs, separate pages for Top charts and Categories, removal of the For you tab (now the default home), and a revamped Play Points/badge design, with the Books tab remaining on the old UI. The rollout appears to be widescale and may appear differently across devices.

Google Translate set for a modern Android makeover

Android Authority reports Google is testing a major Google Translate redesign for Android, featuring a new bottom pill-shaped navigation bar with four sections (Translate, Live, Camera, Practice), top-aligned language selectors, a bottom translation input card with quick actions, contextual shortcuts for continued practice, and a consolidated Your activity screen for history and saved translations. The updates extend to refreshed input and results screens with a cleaner, card-based design, and secondary tools moved into the input card. An APK teardown points to potential features, but rollout timing and exact availability aren’t guaranteed yet.

YouTube Shorts Gets UI Cleanup, 2x Speed, and Time Controls

Google is rolling out YouTube Shorts updates to reduce clutter and improve usability: Clear Screen mode hides on-screen UI for an unobstructed view, Shorts can be played at 2x speed, and a quick pause/mute option helps prevent loud interruptions. The Like button becomes a Heart and the Dislike option is removed, with a Not Interested option to refine recommendations. A new Time management setting called Shorts feed limit lets users cap daily viewing from 0 to 2 hours, and the rollout is beginning now.

Firefox's Project Nova aims for a friendlier, privacy-first AI UI

Mozilla is rolling out Project Nova, a rounded, more customizable Firefox interface designed to make privacy settings easier to find and give users clearer controls over AI features; the overhaul includes new icons, wallpapers, themes, and productivity tweaks like compact mode, tab groups, split view, and vertical tabs, with rollout planned later this year. The Web Serial API is already available in Firefox 151, enabling websites to interact with devices without native apps.

Netflix bets on vertical video with a mobile UI revamp

Netflix announced a redesigned mobile app set to launch at the end of April, adding a vertical video feed to better reflect its expanding entertainment lineup and make mobile engagement easier; the company says the lines between TV and mobile entertainment are blurring and that mobile video clips drive engagement, with the revamp aiming to support long-term growth after a prior TV app update and earlier vertical-feed tests.
