Starting today, Google will begin rolling out a new update to its Google Photos app. The photo-keeping app is five years old and has gradually changed the way we keep and review memories over the years. Google says more people are using Google Photos to see memories, after all, a there’s a stories-like feed that shows you what your week looked like in past years.


Anyway, there’s a new design coming to the UI, including a brand-new icon. The icon is still the colorful pinwheel, but it’s more circle-y and totally flattened, which we’ve seen Google do with many of its redesigned stock app icons.

There are three main tabs now instead of four: Photos, Search, and Library.
