TL;DR
- Some new Material 3 Expressive animations in the Google Play Store are rolling out now.
- The shape of the download progress ring around the app icons is changing, as is the loading icon when switching pages.
- This looks to be a staged rollout by Google, so you might not spot it on your device for a while.
Google has spent the past year slowly threading Material 3 Expressive through Android and its first-party apps. Some of the changes are nothing short of an overhaul, whereas others are relatively minor shifts in colors or icons. The Google Play Store appears to be the latest app to get a subtle facelift, with new expressive download and loading animations now starting to show up for some users.
