Google could soon give your profile a subtle ‘Aura’ upgrade, but only if you pay

Wait 5 sec.

Credit: Andy Walker / Android AuthorityTL;DRGoogle is testing a new blue halo around your profile picture in the account switcher across its apps.This blue halo would replace the existing multicolored ring Google One subscribers currently see.The blue ring features a subtle gradient that reminds us of the Gemini logo.For this reason, it’s possible the change only applies to Google AI Pro or Ultra subscribers, not to the regular Google One tiers.Icons across Google’s Workspace apps recently underwent a sweeping change, replacing the older rainbow-colored icons with more 3D, gradient-based ones. This gradient, which we see in abundance across anything related to Gemini, is a marker of AI inclusion in these apps. And since the icon rollout is already complete, similar changes inside apps are now in order, and Google may be starting with the account switcher, which is set to bring a new “Aura” around your profile photo.You’re reading an Authority Insights story.
