Following the changes earlier this week, the Gemini app is rolling out another redesign to the Android homescreen.
Previously, the text box at the bottom fully noted how you can “Type, talk, or share a photo to Gemini Advanced.” A pill had buttons for voice and camera input, while the plus button for the upload menu was at the left and Gemini Live at the opposite corner.
That has now been squished down, with the prompt truncated and existing on the same line as the four buttons, like when you’re in a conversation. It’s also more similar to the Gemini UI on the web.
Tapping the text field expands it to the old UI with a nice animation (existing) as the keyboard slides up. The same thing happens in reverse when you close the text field.
Paired with how the rest of the app now just says “Hello, [name]” and the Chats & Gems history in the top-left corner, Gemini is really opting for a minimalist look that’s not too different from the iconic Google Search homepage.
If you’re not seeing this homescreen redesign, force stop the Gemini app (Google) and relaunch.
