Earlier this month, Google redesigned the Gemini homepage on desktop. The redesign removed the “Hello” + greeting and suggestions and now offers a simple “Hello can I help you?” message. The search engine giant has now provided the same on mobile devices. The Gemini app on Android devices has received a new simplified homescreen, which is now more minimalistic than earlier.
Gemini app’s new simplified homescreen replaces the old design with a minimalistic interface
According to a report by 9to5Google, the Gemini app on Android has received a new update, which brings a more simplified homescreen. The new update replaces the old design with a more minimalistic interface. The new UI is designed to prioritize user experience.
Earlier, there was the “Gemini Advanced” logo on top, apart from a handful of suggestions and the “Chats & Gems” list. However, the new homescreen only has the “Hello, [user name]” greeting. It now also includes a new message bubble icon in the top-left corner, which gives you access to the Recent conversations and Gems. Notably, the chat box at the bottom of the screen is unchanged.
As you can see, the new Gemini app interface draws inspiration from the search’s homepage. If you want to access the new Gemini interface, then simply update the app on your Android device. The new design seems to be rolling out gradually, it may not be available in all regions right away.
Google recently also added Gems to Gemini’s mobile app
It’s worth mentioning that Google added Gems to Gemini’s mobile app earlier this month. Gems were originally launched for gemini.google.com at the end of August on the web. However, now they are also available in the Gemini app on Android and iOS devices. Earlier, the “Recent” section was renamed to “Chat & Gems”. However, with the latest homescreen layout update, they are moved to the bubble icon in the top-left corner.
For those unaware, Gems in Gemini allows you to program the AI assistant for a single and repetitive task. Notably, they can “remember a detailed set of instructions to help you save time on tedious, repetitive or difficult tasks”. Google also offers a handful of pre-generated Gems like a learning coach, brainstormer, career guide, and writing editor.
