Default Google Chat is giving you more control over how it looks

  • Google Chat is rolling out a new option that lets its web users switch between Comfortable and Compact interfaces.
  • The default Comfortable mode has a more modern design but shows fewer elements at a time.
  • The opt-in Compact mode offers a denser user interface that displays more information on the screen.
Google Chat is a solid messaging app for businesses, allowing colleagues to connect easily, share files, discuss ideas, and more. For a long time, the platform limited its users to a default view, which doesn’t cater to all preferences and needs. Fortunately for web users, Google Chat is now rolling out an option that lets them customize its appearance.

Google announced yesterday that it will let its Chat users choose between Comfortable and Compact modes on the web. The former option is the default, which follows the modernized Google Material Design 3 guidelines. While it arguably looks more futuristic and is easier on the eyes, it displays fewer visual elements at a time. So, those consuming lots of content may have to scroll more often.
