Thanks for the call out, yes requesting that to be updated.

I hear ya - if you'd like to add more of your use cases or just follow along on discussions for supporting Material Symbols, please add it to this bug: issuetracker.google.com/447545316

Please leave any feedback or product requests (or +1) this bug to receive updates on if you'd like to see a new library for Material Symbols: issuetracker.google.com/447545316

💔 Why are we not recommending the library anymore? The icons library (“Material Icons”) have been superseded by the newer look of Material Symbols & we’ve seen that the library can increase the build time of your apps significantly.

⤵️ Instead, we recommend downloading a Vector Drawable XML file from the Android tab of fonts.google.com/icons to get access to the latest styled icons: Material Symbols.
