Google Material You 3.0 Introduces System-Level Motion Language for Android

Design · 6 min read

Google's Material You 3.0 adds a motion language that provides composers for shared element transitions, drag physics, and pull-to-refresh behaviors with consistent easing curves and durations.

The toolkit includes built-in accessibility modes that reduce motion or provide simplified timing for users prone to motion sickness. Theme-aware motion adapts velocities and amplitudes depending on device performance and battery state.

For developers, Google published declarative motion components integrated into Jetpack Compose and a preview tool in Android Studio that allows non-technical designers to tweak motion parameters and export them as code.
