Google Chat is rolling out a new look for its mobile experience, starting with the bottom navigation bar which makes it easier for users to access key features. The new navigation bar provides quick access to Home, Direct Messages, Spaces, and Mentions views.
- Home: helps you stay on top of all conversions in one unified view, with a filter that allows you to drill down to unread messages.
- Direct messages: see a compact list of all your 1:1 and group messages, including pinned conversations at the top of the list.
- Spaces: see a compact list of all your spaces, including pinned conversations at the top of the list.
- Mentions: helps you easily find messages from conversations and spaces where you’ve been mentioned.

Users will start seeing these updates on the app for iOS and Android over the next few weeks
