TL;DR<\/p>\n

Google is testing a big visual revamp for Gemini on Android.
\nThe interface brings brighter, more saturated colors along with new icons.
\nIn addition, we also see a changed sidebar that takes up more space on the screen.<\/p>\n

We were able to activate these changes by tweaking the insides of the Google app, version 17.16.21. While these changes aren\u2019t live for users, we bring you an exclusive preview.<\/p>\n

As part of Gemini\u2019s upcoming makeover on Android, the existing sky-blue background could be replaced with a more saturated blue with a subtle gradient. We\u2019ve also discovered a different background for dark mode, replacing the current all-black interface<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beyond the regular chat interface, these changes could also extend to temporary chats, as well as the Gemini Live interface. As part of this revamp, we could see differently colored backgrounds for light and dark modes for Gemini Live, as opposed to the existing color scheme, which only has a dark background.<\/p>\n

Apart from a new background, Google could also bring more minimal icons, which should add to a cleaner interface overall. Another change we notice is the new animated button in Gemini Live, seemingly inspired by ChatGPT\u2019s Voice Mode. If Google chooses to implement it, it would replace the current animation that spans across the lower part of the Live interface.<\/p>\n

Besides these changes, Google could also be undertaking mild spring cleaning. Firstly, it could remove the account picker (your Google account picture to switch accounts) from Gemini\u2019s home screen. This change was also spotted recently<\/a>, but with an interface that uses the current icons. However, it hasn\u2019t been implemented widely yet. With the updated interface, the account picker could move to the bottom of the sidebar, and the sidebar is also expected to see some major changes.<\/p>\n

The additional changes to the interface include a new sidebar that not only features neater icons but also occupies the entire screen when opened, unlike the current interface, which opens to about 80% of the screen width.<\/p>\n

Along with these, you will also see new buttons for the \u201cNew chat\u201d and \u201cShare\u201d options in the main chat interface.<\/p>\n

However, as with every APK teardown, there\u2019s a possibility we might not see some of these changes making their way to the stable versions. We\u2019ll ensure that you\u2019re kept up to date with any other changes Google makes to this interface.<\/p>\n

\u26a0\ufe0f An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n
