Google unveiled the new icons earlier this month to a mixed response, with many users claiming that they are too similar, making it difficult to tell them apart from one another. The icons, which include the four colors of the Google logo – red, blue, green and yellow – are being rolled out not only to Workspace users, but Google says that it will be available to all consumers simultaneously.

In a statement to Android Police earlier this month, a Google spokesperson said:“The new icons will appear to all users spanning across consumer, business, education, and nonprofit beginning 10/6 in a phased rollout. In short, yes, these new app icons will also come to the corresponding consumer apps”.
