TL;DR

  • Google is testing a redesigned attachment sheet in Gemini to replace the current four-button layout.
  • The new UI features larger icons for primary tools and a horizontally scrollable second row for others.
  • These changes apply to both the main Gemini app and the overlay interface triggered over other apps.

Google is working to improve Gemini’s functionality at breakneck speed, and we spot new features and changes to the app and the overall Gemini experience very frequently. We’ve already spotted Google working on a combined attachment sheet and model picker, similar to ChatGPT’s layout. This attachment sheet hasn’t fully rolled out to all users yet, but we’ve now spotted Google advancing its work with Google app v17.6.58.

Currently, Gemini’s attachment sheet only shows four buttons for Camera, Gallery, Files, and Drive. An earlier version of the redesigned attachment sheet UI added even more features, but it ended up cramming several options onto the top row, forcing them into small icons and overflowing their text onto a second line. This attachment sheet UI didn’t roll out to users, but Google is already working on an improved variation, as seen in the screenshots below:
