Overview
- Google is showing the redesigned Gemini app to a small number of iOS users in a limited rollout, and the company has not said when Android will get it.
- The new homepage presents a centered greeting over a colorful, pulsating gradient background, with iOS leaning on Apple’s Liquid Glass visual effect.
- The prompt is now a pill-shaped box with one plus button that opens a bottom sheet for Photos, Camera, recent images, Files, Notebooks, and more uploads.
- Advanced capabilities appear in one clear tools list with options like Images, Videos, Music, Canvas, Deep research, and Guided learning, a layout Google has tested on Android and the web and that is already live on Gemini for Mac.
- Controls have shifted, with the model picker in a top-left dropdown, the account switcher at the bottom of the side menu, and the “See thinking steps” view moved into an overflow-triggered bottom sheet.
