Google Rolls Out Gemini App Redesign on Android With 'My Stuff' and True‑Black Dark Mode

The refresh arrives via Google app version 16.45 on Android as iOS and web availability remains to come.

Overview

  • The homepage now lists suggested actions vertically, including Create image, Write anything, Build an idea, Deep Research, and Create video.
  • A new My Stuff section in the navigation drawer surfaces recent images, videos, and Canvas creations with a preview and a fullscreen feed.
  • Conversation threads replace the top‑right account switcher with a New Chat button, and the title opens a menu for Share, Pin, Rename, and Delete.
  • Dark Mode adopts a true‑black background on the homepage, while the prompt box and conversation views retain a lighter tone for a dual‑shade look.
  • The redesign is widely visible on Android and Galaxy devices, iOS and web availability has not been observed, and Samsung integrations remain limited to Calendar, Notes, and Reminder with no Samsung Clock support.
