Gemini

Google is rolling out the new Gemini icon to Android, while this app update also brings some tweaks and new shortcuts to the homescreen widget.

The new Gemini logo continues to roll out today, while Google has made a tweak to the model picker that prioritizes function over version.

Since launch, Gemini has had its own distinct blue-purple color palette. Google is now ready to more closely align the Gemini app to the primary brand with a new icon.

As part of bringing Gemini (models) to Assistant on the Nest Mini and Audio, Google is adding more natural voices. Following the initial seven options added in December, Google recently introduced three more voices.

At the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) 2025 conference, Google today announced the latest Gemini, Workspace, and Chromebook features for education.

AI has taken over basically everything in tech. Whether it’s search, social media, or basically every other app on your phone, AI is just everywhere. It demands your attention and is often not optional, but Google Photos just showcased an increasingly rare example of building out AI features with a sense of compromise and care for the end user.

Following the announcement at the start of this month, Google has now rolled out Scheduled Actions for Gemini on Android, iOS, and the web to let you “plan ahead for future and recurring tasks.”

After “early access” testing got underway in October, Google Photos is now bringing Ask Photos to more eligible users in the US and making the AI search experience feel faster.

Besides adding captions today, Google is beginning to roll out the ability for Gemini Live to use Calendar, Keep, Tasks, and Maps during conversations.

After appearing for some users earlier this month, Gemini Live now lets you enable captions on Android and iOS.

An email Google sent out to Gemini users is being misunderstood by some, and greatly misconstrued by several publications. Here is what’s actually happening.

Google’s latest AI tool for developers is Gemini CLI, which brings 2.5 Pro to your command line interface or terminal.

Google has announced (via email) that Gemini app users can soon access basic smart assistant capabilities on their Android phone without having usage “Activity” saved.

Following the preview at I/O 2025, Google is releasing an “Agent Mode” for Gemini in Android Studio.

Besides the new navigation drawer and 2.5 Pro going stable, the Gemini app is rolling out video upload and analysis. This lets you add a clip to your prompt.

Following the announcement in early June, Google is more widely rolling out Scheduled Actions to the Gemini app on Android.

Following the first preview three months ago, Google is ready to launch Gemini 2.5 Pro and make the reasoning model generally available (GA) for consumers and developers.

Google is updating the Gemini app on Android with a nav drawer, just like on the web, that brings a number of usability upgrades.

In addition to all the Android announcements, Google Home previewed a number of upcoming updates and features today.

Google has finalized a branding change for the Gemini app that started at I/O 2025, with “Gemini Pro” and “Gemini Ultra” no longer in use.
