Overview

• Google began rolling out Nano Banana in English to users in the U.S. and India through Google Lens and Search’s AI Mode on Android and iOS, with more countries and languages coming soon.
• Lens adds a Create tab marked by a yellow banana icon that prompts users to capture or upload a photo for edits, while AI Mode introduces a plus button that reveals a Create image tool and a “describe your image” workflow.
• Users can generate images from scratch or iteratively edit their photos, then download or share outputs that carry a visible Gemini spark watermark.
• NotebookLM Video Overviews now use Nano Banana for contextual illustrations, offer six visual styles and two formats—Brief and Explainer—and are rolling out first to Pro users this week before reaching all users in the coming weeks.
• Google says Nano Banana support will arrive in Google Photos in the weeks ahead, and the model remains accessible to developers and enterprises via the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI.
