Google Messages is receiving an update that replaces its app icon with a new gradient design, bringing it in line with the gradient styling Google has applied across its other apps. The refreshed icon is appearing for users in the latest rollout. The change is purely cosmetic, but Google's gradual unification of its app icons tends to draw attention and debate among Android users about whether the new look is an improvement.
