As we saw with the Android redesign earlier this month, Google is working to simplify the Gemini app, and that continues today with Ask Gemini.
As of today, the prompt across the Gemini text fields will be “Ask Gemini” or “Ask Gemini Advanced” on desktop and mobile. The Gemini home screen (inside the Google app) on iOS remains unchanged and for some reason retains its original appearance.
On Android, it was previously “Enter, talk, or share photos with Gemini Advanced.” To allow for a more compact text field design, it was truncated to “Enter, get, or share…” until you tap it. No additional text is needed considering the microphone and camera buttons are right there. One discrepancy is that the Gemini overlay panel always displays “Ask Gemini” even if you are an Advanced subscriber.
Gemini.google.com, on the other hand, previously displayed the prompt “Enter your prompt here.” This new version is more end-user friendly.
On social media, Google has a hashtag called “Chat with Gemini.” It might make sense to integrate it into the new “Ask” format.
In other developments, Google recently promoted Gemini on support.google.com to the main grid of 20 products instead of requiring users to expand all consumer apps/services. Pixel Phone will be pushed down, but Google Shopping, which was just redesigned with AI, will be removed.
