Google rolling out new gradient ring for subscribers on Android, web

Google is set to roll out a new design element for its subscribers on Android and the web. This change involves a blue gradient ring appearing around the account photo to signify whether or not a user has subscribed to a paid tier. The introduction follows the replacement of the previous four-color ring system, which consisted of red, blue, green, and yellow hues, with a blue gradient ring. This shift is primarily aimed at users of AI Plus, AI Pro, and AI Ultra.

The design change is evident in various first-party apps, where a compact fullscreen menu now replaces the older one. Additionally, the account holder's email, profile picture, name, and tier are now displayed within a card, with "Manage your Google Account" prominently featured and an "Upgrade to Google AI Ultra" option nearby.

This update is currently being rolled out on a device-by-device basis for Android users. While the majority of apps will receive this update, not all have been updated as of yet. On the web, the new design is being trialed on platforms such as google.com. Though not yet widely available, this update is gradually being rolled out to more users. More details can be found on 9to5Google's YouTube channel.
