Google has been working on a Gemini app redesign<\/a> for the past<\/a> few months<\/a>, and we now have our first look at the full overhaul.<\/p>\n

The homepage sees Gemini switch to a pill-shaped prompt box. Voice input and Gemini Live are at the right, but there\u2019s otherwise just a \u2018plus\u2019 button. This opens a bottom sheet with a carousel that lets you open \u201cPhotos,\u201d launch your \u201cCamera,\u201d and see recent images. You can find Files, Notebooks, and \u201cMore uploads\u201d at the bottom of the sheet.<\/p>\n

Tools appear in the list below with descriptions: Images, Videos, Music, Canvas, Deep research, and Guided learning. Google has been testing this unified approach on Android and desktop web<\/a>, while it\u2019s already live in Gemini for Mac<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the homepage, the greeting is now \u201cHi [name], what\u2019s on your mind?\u201d It\u2019s centered with the Gemini spark just above. The big change is a colorful, pulsating background with a gradient effect.<\/p>\n

Google has gone back to placing the model picker in the top-left corner as a dropdown menu. There\u2019s also an updated icon set in use that favors thin, rounded outlines.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Across it, you\u2019ll just find the temporary chat button. Google has moved the account switcher to the bottom of the navigation drawer in a big departure for first-party apps.<\/p>\n

When you enter a prompt, the gradient background is fully leveraged and the effect is gorgeous:<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

In chats, Google has moved \u201cSee thinking steps\u201d to the overflow menu, with that thought process appearing as a bottom sheet.<\/p>\n

On iOS, this redesign heavily leverages Liquid Glass. Earlier this week, initial support<\/a> was introduced, but this goes a step further. It remains to be seen how this redesign looks on Android.<\/p>\n

There are a handful of iOS reports in the past day or so seeing this redesign, but this is still a limited rollout.<\/p>\n
