Gemini app rolls out notebooks to Android as iOS gets Liquid Glass

Following the launch earlier this month, Gemini notebooks are now available on Android and iOS, while the iPhone has been updated with Liquid Glass.

“Notebooks” appear in the Gemini side panel between My stuff and Gems. You’ll see recent collections appear, with “New notebook” at the bottom of the list.

They can be used like simple folders for conversations (tap the three-dot overflow menu to group), or as a “dedicated space to organize your chats and files.”

These notebooks sync with NotebookLM. As such, there are source limits depending on your Google AI tier.

Free users get up to 50 sources per notebook, while it’s 100/notebook for AI Plus and 300/notebook for Pro. Ultra subscribers get 600 sources per notebook.

Google says Gemini notebooks are “coming soon to additional countries in Europe.”

Meanwhile, Google yesterday updated (version 1.2026.1710203) the Gemini app to target iOS 26. As such, you’ll notice the new Liquid Glass keyboard and menus, like when tapping the ‘plus’ menu. There’s also an updated side panel for iPad users, but it’s otherwise a straightforward modernization for Apple platforms.
