Previously the navigation bar had a color scheme. Included small and large tabs for different sections like Communities, Chats, Status, and Calls. Now the updated version showcases a white color scheme with tabs for all four sections each displaying its own icon. These changes give the navigation bar a modern appearance. The update has been released globally as part of version 2.24.6.77; users are advised to update their app through the Play Store to enjoy the design.

Google is working on improving Google Maps for Android to enhance the user experience. According to a blog post highlighting three features, Google mentions that users can expect to see updated designs that will give Maps a modern look featuring a simplified home screen, with fewer tabs.

This implies that Google Maps for Android will soon display fewer tabs in the bottom bar, contributing to a cleaner appearance. However, there are concerns about whether reducing the number of tabs may complicate app navigation. Presently, there is no specified rollout date for the revised bottom bar, but it is anticipated to become available in the coming weeks.
