APK Teardown Points to Gemini App Labs With Thinking Mode and Agent Tools

The beta code indicates opt-in trials inside Gemini Live with no announced timeline.

Overview

  • Decompiled Google app v17.2 shows a new Labs section in the Gemini Android app for users to opt into experimental features.
  • A listed Live Thinking Mode describes responses that take more time to produce in order to be more detailed.
  • A Live Experimental Features entry cites multimodal memory, improved noise handling, visual scene responses, and personalization based on connected Google apps.
  • Two additional Labs appear as UI Control, which lets an agent operate phone tasks, and Deep Research, which delegates complex research work.
  • The entries suggest Gemini Live could move from Gemini 2.5 Flash to Gemini 3 models, and reporters note possible Astra links, but all details remain unconfirmed from an APK teardown.
