The Google search app's icon has been updated with a gradient effect, moving away from the solid color pattern.
The new icon maintains the RGB colors but now features a gradient that merges red, yellow, green, and blue.
The change only applies to the mobile app's icon and not the Google logo on websites, surprising many users as it was not officially announced.
The updated G icon was first spotted in the iOS App Store and has now rolled out in the Google Play Store, hinting at a broader platform design update in the future.
