Overview
- Google is pushing a broad Gemini overhaul in a limited rollout that is live on Mac, showing up for some iOS users, and testing on Android and the web.
- The home screen now uses a pill-shaped prompt and a central plus button that opens a bottom sheet for Photos, Camera, recent images, Files, Notebooks, and more uploads.
- A labeled Tools list groups creation and research features, including Images, Videos, Music, Canvas, Deep research, and Guided learning.
- Navigation changes move the model picker back to a top-left dropdown and place the account switcher at the bottom of the navigation drawer.
- Chats relocate the “See thinking steps” control to the overflow menu, and the thought process opens as a bottom sheet, while iOS gains Liquid Glass visuals and a pulsating gradient backdrop.
