Gemini app

Following the big Neural Expressive redesign at I/O 2026 last month, Google is rolling out some tweaks to the Gemini overlay on Android.

The Gemini app’s latest first-party integration is with Google Contacts to provide “personalized insights and responses based on your contacts.”

As previewed last week, Gemini Spark is now available in the US for Google AI Ultra subscribers.

At I/O 2026 last week, the Gemini app switched to compute-based usage limits. In response to “feedback about hitting limits too quickly,” Google today announced some changes.

Following last week’s Neural Expressive redesign, the Gemini app is rolling out new voices for the main chat experience and Gemini Live.

As part of the Neural Expressive redesign, Gemini Live on Android can now access more first- and third-party “Connected Apps.”

At I/O 2026, Google previewed two major features for the Gemini app on macOS that are coming this summer.

A new partnership between Gemini and CapCut means the video and image editing suite will be integrating some of its tools into Google’s AI assistant app, but it’s unclear what that might look like.

Alongside all the feature announcements, Google announced that Gemini is switching away from daily prompt limits, while AI Ultra is now cheaper.

At I/O 2026, Google announced major updates to Gemini across the underlying model and new app features. The Gemini app now has over 900 million monthly active users.

Ahead of I/O 2026, Google continues to roll out Gemini app features, with some users now seeing a “Thinking level” option.

As we head into I/O 2026, Google is tweaking the Gemini app icon to be a touch more colorful.

In the ramp up to I/O 2026, Google has been working on adding a more advanced agent capability to the Gemini app. It now looks like it will be branded as “Gemini Spark.”

Google is rolling out an update to the Gemini overlay on Android that essentially lets you “Circle to Search” and focus your prompt.

With the launch of Gemini 3 last November, Google introduced “Gemini Agent” as an “experimental feature that handles multi-step tasks.” It’s due for a big upgrade, according to a new report and strings this week. 

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.

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

You can now ask the Gemini app to directly generate “downloadable and ready-to-share files.” Google wants you to “quickly move from a brainstorm to a complete file without ever leaving the Gemini app.”

Google’s goal with Gemini is to build a personal, proactive, and powerful assistant. The final tentpole is the underlying model, while Personal Intelligence became free earlier this year. The Gemini app is now readying “Proactive Assistance.”

Visually, Gemini Live has remained mostly unchanged since launch, but Google is now testing a redesign that removes the fullscreen interface on Android.

A bug with the Gemini app today is responsible for several recent features being rolled back.
