Google Confirms Gemini UX 2.0 Overhaul and Native macOS App

Early Android updates hint at cleaner navigation with easier access to Gemini’s tools.

Overview

  • Logan Kilpatrick says Google is making a “huge investment” in a Gemini App UX 2.0 redesign to better surface capabilities across Android and the web.
  • A native Gemini client for macOS is in development to enable drag‑and‑drop, local file access, and deeper system integration, with no release date announced.
  • Android users are seeing a refreshed homepage, a darker dark mode, and vertically arranged action chips that bring tools like Create image, Deep Research, and Write anything to the foreground.
  • A new My Stuff section groups prior outputs such as images, videos, long‑form responses, and Canvas projects for quicker retrieval.
  • Google is building a mobile Google AI Studio app for iPhone and Android, internally called Build Anything, which Ammar Reshi says is not launching soon.
