TL;DR
- Our APK teardown of the Google app found that Google is testing several Gemini UI changes, including a new Discover tab.
- The Gemini sidebar may be getting a redesign, with a new layout and a settings shortcut.
- Gemini’s “Thinking” responses could be moved to a bottom sheet with additional model details.
The Gemini UI seems to be an almost constant work-in-progress, especially in recent days. Just yesterday, we spotted a new way to branch conversations into separate chats being tested within the app, and it now looks like Google is also tinkering with how the app looks and feels, with several UI changes showing up in the latest beta.
While digging into version 17.10.54.sa.arm64 of the Google app, we were able to activate a handful of in-progress Gemini changes. None of these are live yet, and some are clearly unfinished, but they offer a look at where the interface could be heading.
