Google has been working on a Gemini app redesign for the past few months, and we now have our first look at the full overhaul.
The homepage sees Gemini switch to a pill-shaped prompt box. Voice input and Gemini Live are at the right, but there’s otherwise just a ‘plus’ button. This opens a bottom sheet with a carousel that lets you open “Photos,” launch your “Camera,” and see recent images. You can find Files, Notebooks, and “More uploads” at the bottom of the sheet.
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, while it’s already live in Gemini for Mac.
Elsewhere on the homepage, the greeting is now “Hi [name], what’s on your mind?” It’s centered with the Gemini spark just above. The big change is a colorful, pulsating background with a gradient effect.
