Version 9.0 of the Google Calculator app gets some changes related to its redesign, including a big change to the numbers buttons, which are now closer to touching the sides and bottom edges of the buttons around them. In addition to the bigger numeral keys, the row on top that includes functions like square root, pi, power, and factorial now only features a small up arrow and a small down arrow. Pressing those arrows removes the functions and then brings the functions back, over and over again.

The Material 3 Expressive redesign adds enclosed buttons for the Scientific Calculator operation buttons. The buttons you would tap for operations such as radian (RAD), sin (Sine), cos (Cosine), tan (Tangent), INV (Inverse), ln (natural logarithm), and e (Euler’s number, which is approximately 2.718281828…), are now enclosed inside a button. The overflow menu in the upper right corner of the display calls up practically the same menu as before, but includes a small icon that matches the task. The tasks include:
- Clear history
- Choose theme
- Privacy policy
- Send feedback
- Help

The numbers on the calculator’s display are taller and narrower after the redesign. Back in 2018, Google used the Google Sans font for the Material Design remake of the Calculator app. The new font on version 9 of the app replaces this look. Keep in mind that the Calculator app is not a native Android app on some phones. Therefore, if you don’t have the Google Calculator app on your Android phone, you can add it by tapping on this link.

The version of the Google Calculator on my Pixel 6 Pro is 8.7. We should point out that on the Pixel, the Calculator app is a system app and cannot be uninstalled from the phone. On Pixel handsets, it is pre-installed.
