  • Google is updating its Clock with some of the boldest Material 3 Expressive changes we’ve seen so far.
  • The updated app plays with fonts, as well as new UI elements.
  • An alarm can now be dismissed using a button instead of the old slider.

As we wait for the announcement of Google’s new Material 3 Expressive system at Google I/O, I’m seeing more and more leaks of the new look. So far we’ve seen the new settings app, the Google account section as well as the new keyboard. None of them seemed very expressive, though.

Today, we have another look at more materials from the upcoming design system. Thanks to a source inside Google, I was able to try out the refreshed Google Clock app, which showcases some more significant Material 3 Expressive changes.
