Overview
- The new control appears when using Pro or Thinking models and does not show up with Fast.
- It replaces the previous Skip button and is positioned next to the spinning status indicator during generation.
- Tapping it prompts a confirmation that Gemini is "Skipping in-depth thinking" before producing a quicker answer.
- Google says the feature continues using the user-selected model rather than switching to Fast, though outputs may differ from Fast mode.
- The rollout spans free and paid accounts on Android, iOS, and the web, with some iOS versions still displaying the old label.
