Google app’s Search Live is gearing up for a design overhaul
A revamped camera interface and a bubbly new animation could be on the horizon for Search Live.
The Google app's Search Live feature is set to undergo a design overhaul, according to recent reports. The camera interface that powers Search Live may receive a few changes, such as the option to minimize and reposition the camera window on the screen. Additionally, Google might introduce fresh bubble animations to indicate when Search Live is active. Although the transcript button has vanished from the updated layout, it remains unclear whether this signifies a permanent change or simply a shift in placement.
Search Live allows users to obtain real-time answers using voice commands or a combination of voice input and the phone's camera. Despite its effectiveness, the current camera layout consumes the entire screen, potentially obscuring certain user interface elements. To address this issue, Google is diligently working on a new design to refocus attention on the answers rather than the camera feed.
