Google has begun rolling out a new, streamlined look for the Google Gemini app on Android devices

The previous design of the Gemini app was somewhat cluttered, with a Gemini logo, a selection of topic suggestions, and a “Chat & Gems” section In the new design, all of this is nicely organized Upon opening the app, a simple greeting appears, with a small chat bubble in the upper left corner that allows access to past history

The text field has also been changed to make everything look more streamlined and on one line, as if you were having a conversation Also, the microphone/camera pill now fits on the same line, making it easier to select the ideal method Finally, the Gemini Live waveform options are now located in the lower right corner

The new app is certainly easier to use and looks much cleaner than before In some ways it resembles the ChatGPT app, but the OpenAI app still displays some suggestions to the user, such as the ability to generate art this new design of the Gemini app was first released in September and then on Android phones and Google browsers for all deployed to people

Google has been steadily releasing new features to the Gemini app over the past few months For example, Gemini's Live Voice mode was recently made available to millions of Android users for free This mode allows users to have real-time conversations with the app at the push of a button Voice mode is nothing new for chatbots, but Google promises that this mode will be as close to a real and dynamic conversation as possible

Google's redesign will no doubt help make the app more appealing to those who have previously shied away from Gemini because of its tendency to provide outdated information If you want to give the app a try, there is a list of prompts that would be great to try with the new Gemini app
