TL;DR<\/p>\n
What\u2019s in a name, anyway? Maybe a lot, actually, and if you\u2019re trying to design a user interface that\u2019s as intuitive as possible, the choice of labels you apply can end up mattering quite a bit. The Google app on Android has been working on some internal rebranding since last year, and based on what we just spotted, it sounds like the project is far from over.<\/p>\n
\u26a0\ufe0f<\/strong> An APK teardown<\/b> helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n Down at the bottom of the Google app for Android, you\u2019ll find a set of navigation buttons: Home, Search, Notifications, and a fourth that offers a historical view. This is where you\u2019ll see your search history, and be able to find content you previously chose to save.<\/p>\n This screen used to be called Saved, but last fall we started seeing Google test a new name for this view, rebranding it as Activity<\/a>. By the spring, availability had greatly expanded within the beta program, and we\u2019ve since seen it hit stable.<\/p>\n But it turns out this may not be the end of the story. Maybe not by a long shot.<\/p>\n Instead of Activity, some people on version 16.30.59.ve.arm64 beta of the app are seeing that same screen presented as Journeys, like Telegram user Mitso above. But Google\u2019s experimentation with new names doesn\u2019t seem limited to the beta, as we\u2019ve also spotted it identified as Library in a stable build.<\/p>\n All told, Google seems to be considering a lot of different options for this screen. In addition to ones we\u2019ve seen, strings within the app reveal even more alternatives:<\/p>\n Code<\/p>\n Copy TextActivity
We\u2019ve observed the app using different labels even with the same Google account on multiple phones, so this really does appear to be an active experiment.<\/p>\n Most of those names are reasonably evocative of what you\u2019ll find on the tab, even if Hub or You feel a bit broad. But while we\u2019re not surprised to see Google considering all its options, it is a little odd to find quite so many in the running.<\/p>\n While we\u2019re still seeing the same content despite the shifting branding, it does look like Google is also thinking about adding something new to this history page:<\/p>\n Code<\/p>\n Copy TextRecent Song Searches<\/p>\n
