The Gemini label at the top has been slightly enlarged to give a more structured look.

Theme updates:

Dark mode now uses a deeper black background for stronger contrast.

Light theme now features a soft blue-gray tint for a refreshing look.

The prompt box and conversation pages retain their previous colors, creating a subtle dual-tone effect in dark mode.

“My Stuff” Section for Easy Access

The chat drawer now includes a new section called “My Stuff”, where all your images, videos, and Canvas creations generated via Gemini are stored.

Users can now see their last three creations in rounded preview boxes.

This section works alongside existing Gems and Chats tabs.

Conversation and Tool Improvements

Inside conversations, the account switcher has been removed and replaced with a new chat button.

The conversation title now acts as a dropdown menu with options like Share, Pin, Rename, or Delete, which previously were hidden in the navigation drawer.

Guide videos using reference images:

Users can upload up to three reference images to guide Gemini in video creation.

This ensures characters, styles, and lighting match across all scenes.

Gemini can place characters from the uploaded images directly into the video scene based on the prompt.

The Gemini Tools menu now clearly shows which model is being used for video generation (Veo 3.1).

Availability

The update is rolling out gradually and will be fully available next week for Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers.

This update brings a more intuitive, visually organized, and customizable experience to Gemini users on Android, making AI creation faster and more fun.
