Google Tests Nano Banana Image Editing in Lens, With Early Signs in Circle to Search

An app teardown points to a new Lens Create button that would invoke Gemini 2.5 Flash Image for prompt‑based edits.

Nano Banana might expand to more Google apps

Overview

  • Android Authority found in Google app build 16.40.18.sa.arm64 a revamped Lens interface adding a Create option alongside Search and Translate.
  • Tapping Create prompts users to submit an image and describe the desired changes in text, mirroring the Search AI Mode workflow.
  • Circle to Search also surfaces a Create entry, though it is not responsive, indicating the feature remains in early development there.
  • The UI elements were uncovered through a teardown and are not visible or usable in current public releases.
  • Google search VP and Lens co‑founder Rajan Patel acknowledged the report with a teasing post on X without offering timing or confirmation.
