Google Rolls Out Blue Gradient Ring for Paid Tiers on Android and Web

Summary
Google is replacing its four-color Google One avatar badge with a blue gradient ring that marks paid subscribers across Android apps and the web.
The change is tied to newer AI Plus, AI Pro and AI Ultra plans, though Google says the ring also appears for non-AI Google One tiers.
Tapping the avatar opens a redesigned fullscreen account menu with the user’s tier in a profile card, a built-in account switcher and more prominent account-management links.
Android availability is rolling out per device and reaches most first-party apps at once when enabled, while web support is also expanding but remains limited for now.
