TL;DR

• YouTube Music on Wear OS is getting new visual elements in line with Google’s Material 3 Expressive design.
• The redesign is live on the Wear OS tile as well as some other elements.
• However, the player interface is still using the older interface.

Google has been working to bring its latest Material 3 Expressive aesthetics across multiple apps and interfaces. While Android phones have been the blessed recipients of the new design language, Google has also begun painting elements from the smaller screen with similar visuals.

The Pixel Watch 4 is splattered with a healthy dose of the Expressive design, thanks to its Wear OS 6 interface. Meanwhile, Google has also been testing a design revamp for apps such as Maps, even on older versions of Wear OS. Apps, such as Google Calendar, Home, Keep, Messages, and Gemini for Watch, already have the updated visuals. Now, YouTube Music on Wear OS is getting a similar treatment.
