Google TV is rolling out a redesign that adds a new “Highlights” tab and reorganizes other parts of the Android app. The new Highlights tab showcases YouTube videos, news, reviews, and other articles related to the movies and TV shows you’re interested in. The new version v4.32.50 of the Google TV app with the new redesign is now being released via the Play Store. However, the update does not bring all the Material You design changes that Google showed off in March.

Furthermore, “For You” is now the new Home tab, and it occupies the second position in the bottom bar. Google has removed the top tabs for Movies and Shows from the main page of the older version of the app. With the latest update, they are now part of the “For You” tab, and you’ll find them as you scroll down.
Next up, there is a “Shop” section, which will become more relevant once the Play Store gets rid of the Play Movies & TV tab. Meanwhile, Library and Watchlist have been consolidated into the Your Stuff tab.
