TL;DR
- The Google Sheets icon has been updated on iOS.
- The new icon is the same as the old one, but rotated 180 degrees. This orientation better resembles an actual spreadsheet.
- We’re speculating the previous version’s orientation was an oversight, but Google hasn’t confirmed that.
Google set out to modernize its app iconography this year, introducing new icons for a number of services, with soft, rounded shapes and a generous helping of color gradients. Today, one of those icons got yet another update, and it’s kind of a strange one.
As flagged by 9to5Google, the icon for Google Sheets on Android has been flipped upside-down. No other changes were made to the icon’s shape or colors; it’s just the orientation that’s changed.
