The recent update to the Settings page of Google Maps reflects a significant redesign aimed at enhancing user experience. This new look is currently available on select devices, including those running version 26.02.07.x beta and 25.49 stable of the app. The update is being rolled out through a server-side change, allowing it to reach users across different versions simultaneously.

The revamped Settings page now features a total of seven menu items, including options for Location & privacy and Offline maps. Notably, the "Sign out of Google Maps" button is now more accessible, having been relocated from the bottom of the page to a more prominent position. Additionally, the layout has been streamlined, with the back button replaced by an 'X' for closing the tab.

Navigation menu, remain unchanged. Users may find it surprising that the updated page lacks the Material 3 Expressive design elements that have been adopted in other Google apps. This inconsistency continues as Google integrates M3 Expressive features across various applications.
