Google’s Find My Device gets Material You makeover: Dark theme, large icons and more – Times of India

Google‘s Find My Device app helps users protect their devices from theft or loss. It allows users to remotely lock, erase and track their device with just a few simple steps. Users can also be alerted when their device is moved or taken outside of a designated area. The app provides detailed information about when and where the device was last active.
In addition to this, Google has revamped the Find My Device app with a new Material You makeover. The update adds a dark theme along with a modern account picker. Now, the app does not show the previous green accent for Dynamic colour throughout the UI.

Here’s what has changed
Once signed in, the app shows the list of devices that are associated with the account. Moreover, Google has also removed the integrated map view where the connected device appears at the top of the app bar. The new UI has made browsing much easier with large icons
The new list approach is much easier to browse with larger icons than before and more friendly. Once users make a selection, the map appears on the screen, showing the same device information as before, that includes battery percentage and network. It allows users to Play sound, Secure device, and Erase device from the bottom of the sheet.

Tap the arrow in the top-left to return to all your devices, while the other corner is home to a modern Google Account switcher.
Surprisingly, the web page of the Find My Device remains unchanged today and is still green in colour. The Find My Device redesign with version 2.5.001 is yet to be widely rolled out via Google Play Store.
