TL;DR

  • We spotted several Gemini UI changes being tested in the latest Google app update.
  • The chat screen adds a new way to start a chat, a dropdown menu, and a Share option in two places.
  • The menu now says “Connected Apps” instead of “Apps.”

Google keeps refining the Gemini experience inside the Google app, and the latest update may be about to bring a few subtle but handy changes. This time, the focus is on making chats easier to start, manage, and share.

In version 16.37.46.sa.arm64 of the Google app, we’ve managed to enable a handful of adjustments that should make Gemini feel a little more streamlined. One change shows up in the account menu, where the old “Apps” entry is now labeled “Connected Apps.” It’s a small switch that better reflects how Gemini ties into other services. You can see the before and after images below.
