Google is adding colorful icons to the Android Settings app as part of a broader expressive redesign. This change, spotted in Android 16 Beta 4, features circular icons with varying colors on the Settings homepage. While the Digital Wellbeing section retains its gray icon, indicating ongoing development, the full redesign is unlikely to appear in the initial Android 16 release but may launch later in a subsequent update or with Android 17. The color scheme currently lacks apparent logic, suggesting potential future adjustments before the official rollout.
