Google said Tuesday the redesigned Workspace app icons will reach users over the next several weeks, after some began appearing earlier this month.
The update covers 14 products, including Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Chat and Voice, across iOS, Android and the web.
Google framed the redesign as a push for more consistent branding while making individual apps easier to distinguish, easing criticism of earlier four-color-heavy icons.
The rollout extends a gradual launch that started in May and could continue into June before all users see the new designs.
