Overview

• Code in a recent Android build, surfaced by Android Authority and enabled by a reverse engineer, reveals a redesigned Gemini homescreen not yet live to users.
• The layout moves core shortcuts such as Create Image and Deep Research to the top and adds a scrollable feed of image-led prompt cards below.
• Example suggestions include “Teleport me to deep space,” “Give me a vintage grunge look,” “Turn my drawing into a storybook,” and a quiz on basic biology.
• The feed is intended to tackle the blank page problem by offering one-tap starters that highlight Gemini’s image editing, coding, quizzing, and news capabilities.
• Google declined to announce the change, and reporters frame the test as a bid to boost engagement after Nano Banana’s momentum and to better compete with rivals like OpenAI’s Sora and the minimalist ChatGPT app.
