Google Consolidates Product Accounts: Goodbye Material Design on X, Hello Made by Google

In a move to simplify its online presence, Google is consolidating its product and service accounts on X, formerly Twitter. Two significant instances of this effort are underway, one affecting Google Pixel and the other, Material Design.

Material Design Says Goodbye

In a recent tweet, @materialdesign announced its move to the main @GoogleDesign handle on September 30. With over 201,000 followers, @GoogleDesign boasts a significant following compared to Material Design’s 87,700 followers. This change is likely a result of the 10-year anniversary of Material Design, and the company invites its followers to “Join us as we write the next chapter in Material’s story.” Although the content might not change drastically, Material Design has been celebrating this milestone with various retrospectives.

The Next Chapter for Material Design

Material Design has been an integral part of Google’s design language for over a decade. This anniversary marks a significant milestone for the company, and its transition to the @GoogleDesign handle is likely a celebration of its growth and impact.

Google Pixel US Says Goodbye and Hello

Meanwhile, @GooglePixel_US announced on September 24 that it would be “closing shop” on this channel and migrating its content to the @madebygoogle handle. With over 960,000 followers, @madebygoogle is a much larger account that spans content related to Google Nest, Fitbit, and other Google products. Although the @googlenest account is dormant, Fitbit still maintains its own Twitter presence.

A New Chapter for Google Pixel

The Google Pixel Twitter account is known for its playful and community-focused content. Its Instagram account, @GooglePixel, features a “collection of extraordinary Pixel pictures” and is currently running a “30 days of Pixel” campaign, where it shares a different prompt each day and asks followers to submit their own photos. This campaign does not appear to be affected by the recent change.

Note: The rewritten content has been optimized for search engines, with a unique tone and structure. It maintains the same character length as the original and includes SEO-friendly language throughout.
