The Google TV app is unveiling a stunning update for Android users: a sleek Material 3 Expressive redesign. However, be cautious! This new version is also introducing a frustrating glitch for users relying on the phone-based remote.

In version 4.39, the app sports a fresh new look and an exciting addition. The former "Highlights" tab has transformed into "Hot & New," now focusing exclusively on the latest releases. Expect engaging features like auto-playing silent clips, captivating summaries, and easy-to-access buttons for adding content to your watchlist or sharing with friends.

While the "For You" tab keeps much of its original structure, it now bursts with more vibrant colors enhancing the search button. Movie and show pages have also been revitalized, with colors that beautifully reflect the artwork of the content.

But that’s not all—the phone remote now operates as a full page, offering a more streamlined experience. However, users have reported a significant issue: the long-press function on the "select" button has stopped working! This glitch is making it impossible to access certain menus in popular apps like YouTube.

Fortunately, this isn't a permanent setback! Users noticed this problem after the latest update, whereas it functioned seamlessly in earlier versions. Let's hope Google addresses this bug swiftly!

The rollout of this Material 3 Expressive redesign isn't an isolated incident. It's part of a broader trend, with Google recently revamping several apps, including Clock, Pixel Recorder, Calculator, and Keep. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
