How to Supercharge Gemini App Usage on Foldables and Tablets
October 31, 2024
Since its debut on the Android platform, the Gemini app has undergone a series of thoughtful enhancements, including broader app integrations and lock screen support. The latest update for the overlay app version has further refined its capabilities, particularly for users of foldable phones and tablets, allowing for a more seamless multitasking experience. For those navigating the world of large-screen Android devices, a guide on utilizing the Gemini app in multi-window or split-screen modes is now available.
How to Use Gemini on Android Foldables and Tablets
On foldable devices, Gemini’s on-screen overlay operates effectively on both the cover screen and the main folding screen. Users can switch between various view modes or minimize the app, although customization options such as transparency may differ based on the specific device and Android OS version.
Using Gemini on the Main Foldable Display
To fully leverage Gemini’s features on the main screen, follow these straightforward steps:
Unlock your device and access the main screen.
Initiate Gemini using a voice command or gesture.
For a pop-up view, press and hold the top bar, then drag it to reposition on the screen.
To engage in split-screen mode, select the side where you wish to place Gemini.
In the pop-up view, tap the top bar to explore view modes and tools. Options include shortcuts for sticky tools, split-screen, transparency adjustments, and minimize/maximize functions.
If minimized, Gemini will manifest as a floating bubble, easily repositionable anywhere on the screen. A simple tap on this bubble will restore Gemini to its window view.
Gemini on the Cover Screen
Utilizing Gemini on the cover screen mirrors the functionality found on the main screen, with the primary distinction being that split-screen support is limited to the apps displayed in the top and bottom views. Here’s how to navigate it:
Unlock your device.
Launch Gemini through a voice command or gesture.
Press and hold the top bar, dragging it to the screen to convert it into a pop-up view.
Tap the top bar to access additional settings:
Manually reposition Gemini by holding the top bar and dragging it to your desired screen area.
The Gemini on-screen overlay is compatible with a wide range of Android foldable smartphones and tablets. There is potential for Google to extend support to standard slab phones, given the effective functionality of Gemini’s cover screen on foldable devices.
