Google Maps, Photos get new look: Check out redesign

Technology Nov 03, 2025

Google is freshening up its Maps and Photos app icons across Android, iOS, and the web.
The redesign is part of Google's push for a more modern, unified look that matches its focus on AI-driven creativity.

Maps and Photos app icons get gradient treatment

The new Maps icon keeps the familiar pin but now looks sleeker with thinner lines and a bigger center circle—plus, those old blue sections are gone.
For Photos, the classic pinwheel stays but gets a cool gradient effect radiating from the middle.
These updates tie in with other recent Google design changes to keep everything feeling connected.
