Google Maps on iPhone is getting a redesign: Here’s what it will look like.
Google Maps on iOS is getting a cleaner look.
According to 9to5Google, which spotted the update, the bottom bar now has three options instead of five. Previously, when you opened up Google Maps on an iPhone, the tabs were Explore, Go, Saved, Contribute, and Updates. Now the bottom bar shows Explore, You, and Contribute.

Essentially, Google consolidated some of the Saved and Updates tabs into the You tab. So now when you tap You, you’ll see any trips you’ve bookmarked in addition to notifications and messages from Google. The outlet reports that this redesign appears in the 6.129.1 iOS update.

Google rolled out its Maps redesign for Android users in late July. In addition to a sleeker look, Maps also has new features like a nifty tool that shows you where to park when you arrive at your destination and a larger icon for reporting incidents.
For iPhone users, the decluttered look is a nice update for the popular navigation app. But while, many Apple fans opted to use Google Maps over Apple Maps which has notoriously lagged in usability, Apple Maps has gotten much better. Waze, which is owned by Google, continues to be a good choice for users who want gamification features.
