  • Google appears to be working on a redesign of the Library tab.
  • An APK teardown has revealed that the Library tab could renamed to “Collections.”
  • The redesign could remove the carousel and add square cards for People, Albums, Documents, and more.

The Library tab in the Google Photos app is where you can go to look at your albums, check your on-device folders for images, and access shortcuts (Favorites, Utilities, Archive, and Trash). But it looks like the Library tab could undergo a big shift that will change the tab’s name and its UI.

In an APK teardown of the Photos app, conducted by 9to5Google, it was discovered that Google may be working on a redesign for the Library tab. The outlet was able to enable the redesign, which appears to relabel the Library tab to Collections.
