Google is bringing iOS-style Settings icons to Chrome for Android
The UI makeover is taking shape in Canary.
Google is experimenting with a new design for Chrome's main Settings page on Android, similar to the iOS version. This update adds colorful icons for each individual entry, streamlining the navigation process. Additionally, the “Basics” and “Advanced” subsection labels have been removed, and some settings have been moved under Appearance.
These changes are currently only available in Chrome Canary through the "Settings IA Reorganization" flag, with no confirmed timeline for a stable rollout. Google is no stranger to revamping the appearance of its apps, and this is just one example of their ongoing efforts to enhance the user experience. Recently, the browser introduced a search box in the three-dot menu to facilitate access to browser actions, bookmarks, and recent history.
However, the updates don't stop at the visual changes; Google is also testing a small yet potentially useful modification that could make the Settings menu on Android a bit more user-friendly, as reported by @Leopeva64 on X.
