Google Maps is set to roll out a revamped design of the bottom bar to iPhones that aims to offer the app a less cluttered view by reducing the number of tabs on the screen.
Earlier on Android, the new bottom bar reduced the number of tabs from five to three. It was noticed by 9to5Google, that “Go” has been eliminated, while users can still access it utilising a new “You” middle tab through a new “Saved trips” section therein.
“You” was formerly recognised as “Saved,” and holds the same bookmark icon.

However, tapping it takes you to an upgraded page with new top tabs for “Notifications” and “Messages,” both of which “Contribute” is the last tab of the three on the main maps screen.
The release is set to take place in version 6.129.1 of Google Maps. If you've upgraded and don't look at the new bottom bar, try force-quitting the app through the app switcher screen and re-open it.
