Even not all of them had access to the new look with the texture-dotted halftone appearance, but at least some did \u2013 and we still hadn&#8217;t gotten a whiff of it on Android. But that mistake seems to have been rectified, as Telegram user uhsic shared this screen recording with us:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Right now, it&#8217;s still a tease, as access appears to be quite limited \u2013 we haven&#8217;t seen it on our devices yet. We also haven&#8217;t yet been able to confirm whether some of the other UI changes seen on iOS are similarly starting to impact Gemini on Android, like the new look for the Plus menu that we separately saw in limited testing on Android last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Is Gemini already sporting this new look on your Android phone? lucky you!
