Files by Google is playing with a dynamic new look for your recent files (APK teardown)
The interface in Files by Google may soon be updated to match what we have in Photos and Messages.
- Google appears to be prepping a new mechanic for the “Recents” UI in its Files app.
- A new update reveals Files by Google testing out the same sort of dynamic carousel we see in Google Photos.
No Google app ever stays the same forever, and while some get much more attention than others, on a long enough timeline the odds of any UI remaining unchanged drop to zero. Last summer we saw Google rethinking its approach to the “Recents” view in its Files app, swapping out the static categories for a scrollable carousel. Now we’re taking a look at what could be the next evolution of this interface.
