Gemini’s refresh: Unveiling the new ‘My Stuff’ folder for seamless user navigation

Google introduced a refined design for its Gemini web interface on December 3, featuring a modern aesthetic with a sleek dark theme and an enhanced "My Stuff" folder. The new design includes a bluish-gray background in light mode and a fully-black backdrop in dark mode, with a friendly greeting and tailored suggestions. The "My Stuff" section allows users to store images, videos, and Canvas creations separately from chat interactions. The chat interface has been improved with a new dropdown menu for managing conversations. This update coincides with the launch of Gemini's latest AI models, Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro, which enhance Google Search with multimodal responses.

Google Revamps Gemini AI App on Android with Material You UI Overhaul

Google's Gemini app is undergoing a user interface overhaul on Android devices, focusing on enhancing visual appeal and usability. The redesign features a pill-shaped input field with integrated icons for voice input and image uploads, aiming to streamline user interactions. Subtle animations and color adjustments align with Google’s Material You design language, while an improved model-switching mechanism allows one-handed gestures for toggling between AI models. Developers have noted bouncier animations in the Gemini overlay, inspired by Material 3 guidelines. The updates may position Gemini to manage more complex tasks and integrate further into users' daily routines with home screen widgets. Challenges remain, including integration issues reported by users. Future changes are expected to extend to tablets and smart home products, optimizing experiences for larger screens and enhancing control over smart devices.
