JAKARTA Google made small changes that many people would not realize. This change can be seen in the Gmail and Google Chat search boxes made bigger than before.

The size change in this search box was deliberately made to meet the Material 3 design guidelines. Previously, the size of the search bar determined by Android was 48dp, now it has changed to 56dp.

Maybe some people are wondering what the changes are for. Despite the size that hasn't changed much, this enlarged size is only done to make it easier for users.

In addition to making the search box easier to touch, these changes also help align your Material You preferences with wider components.

Changes to this search box can be found in the Gmail version 2023.10.15.x, meanwhile changes to Google Chat can be found in the version 2023.10.15.x.

In addition to Gmail and Google Chat, Google will make the same changes to Drive, Keep, Docs, Meet, and other default applications that have search contacts

However, these provisions come from Android and Google must implement all of these policies on the apps they manage.
