TL;DR
- Gemini’s overlay redesign is rolling out to some users.
- There are a number of changes, including thinner icons, a new UI sheet, and more.
- Gemini Live now opens on the same screen.
Last week, we reported that Google was working on a major redesign for Gemini Overlay and Gemini Live. Shortly after our report, these changes started being implemented in the beta version of the Google app. Now the new experience is starting to arrive for some users on the stable channel.

Spotted by our own Joe Maring on his Pixel 10a (Google app version 17.14.60.sa.arm64), Google has started rolling out the new Gemini overlay to some users. This rollout does not appear to be widespread yet, as this experience is not available to the rest of our team at this time. So don’t panic if you are not seeing changes from your side.
The update includes several changes, such as thinner icons, a new wave-like animation in the center after activating voice input, and a new UI sheet that pops up after tapping the plus icon. This new UI sheet has a list of options, like creating an image, creating music, and more.

As mentioned earlier, Google was also working on an update for Gemini Live. These changes have been introduced alongside the overlay redesign. Now when Live is activated, the feature stays on the same screen instead of moving to a separate screen. However, the new buttons we saw in the APK teardown don’t appear here.
