  • Google is working on a redesigned account switcher for its apps.
  • The company has been adding new strings of code related to the design update to several apps over the last few weeks.
  • Strings spotted in the latest Google Keep update suggest that the new account switcher may resemble the web UI.

The account switcher in Google apps might soon get a redesign. We’ve spotted new strings of code in several apps pointing toward the UI update over the last few weeks, and we finally have enough evidence to reveal what the new account switcher UI may look like upon release.

Based on the code spotted in the latest Google Keep update, we believe that the redesigned account switcher UI in Google apps may resemble the web version. Currently, the app version shows your primary account, followed by a “Manage your Google Account” button, other connected accounts, an “Add another account” button, and the option to manage accounts on your device.
