Google’s focus lately has been on Gemini. This is why the AI tool’s Android app is on a regular upgrade. The app has been getting new features, and it even got a new one recently.
Google is bringing ‘Discover’ to the Gemini app, as pointed out by Android Authority after digging into version 17.10.54.sa.arm64 of the Google app. It seems like it will be a dedicated space for users to learn more about Gemini’s capabilities, potentially including prompts, tutorials, information about new features, and so on.
However, the new section will be accessible via the app’s sidebar, though it isn’t live yet. Also, when it will eventually spread out to users isn’t known for now.
It isn’t a key change by any means, but it just polishes the current UI by giving it softer edges and a new Settings button. Then again, for reference, you have the option to view how Gemini tackles your query and the steps it takes to supply an answer. As it is now, when users tap ‘Show thinking’ on the Gemini app, the AI tool pushes its output down and highlights its thinking above the answer. This implies that when you tap ‘Show thinking’, it will open a bottom sheet with relevant information.
Apart from the changes for the Gemini app’s ‘internal’ interface, Google is also working on refreshing the Gemini overlay, to add to the UI tweaks. It’s not the first time though.
This new change involves Google splitting the input box from the AI tool’s response and completing with a prominent ‘X’ close button in the top-right corner. Also, the overlay will move the ‘speaker’ voice output icon to the bottom right, all for better one-handed usage.
It’s not known yet if the changes will later be unveiled. Also, they’re not live in beta or stable Gemini builds.
