We’ve spotted some new icon-based interface changes in Google Now over the last few months, first with a few circles, then with more contextual multicolored icons. The latest shift seems to be all in on the latter: multiple Android Police users have told us that they’ve seen the new icon-focused UI in their copy of the app, complete with more icons than ever before. As an intentional way to direct users to Google’s various utility searches, it seems to be fairly functional.
