Following Lyria 3 Pro, Gemini 3.1 Flash Live, and importing, Google has a few other Gemini app updates, starting with Personal Intelligence seeing wide US availability.
Currently, the glow appears around the pill-shaped Gemini overlay when you activate by long-pressing the power button or swiping from the bottom corners.
The redesign adds the glow to the perimeter of your entire screen. Like before, it’s predominantly blue with the red, yellow, and green focused at the bottom. After a moment, these colors fade to blue before disappearing entirely.
This effect is reminiscent of Gemini screen automation, as well as Circle to Search for more visual parity.
Following the announcement earlier this month, free Personal Intelligence is now widely rolling out to free personal users of the Gemini app in the US. This capability taps into text, photos, and videos from your Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and other Workspace apps, Google Photos, YouTube, Search, Maps, and more first-party apps to personalize responses without further prompting from you.
You can turn off Personal Intelligence for a prompt by opening the Tools menu and unchecking the new toggle at the bottom. When introduced in January, Personal Intelligence required a paid Google AI Plan. Over the past day, we’ve seen it roll out to all our free Google Accounts.
You’re prompted to opt-in and can choose which apps Gemini has access to. You can enable/disable services from the “Personal Intelligence” page in your account menu.
In a related development, Google looks to have widely rolled out “Memory.” This was previously known as “Past Gemini chats” and allows the app to look at past conversations to personalize responses instead of having to explicitly remind Gemini.
