Hidden Gemini Android Redesign Surfaces in APK With Scrollable Discovery Feed

The layout aims to solve the blank‑page problem by surfacing one‑tap prompts that showcase Gemini’s multimodal skills.

Overview

  • A reverse engineer enabled an experimental home screen in the Gemini Android app code, as first reported by Android Authority and covered by multiple outlets.
  • The redesign moves core shortcuts like Create Image and Deep Research to the top and adds a scrollable feed of suggested prompts with images.
  • Example prompts highlight varied use cases such as photo edits like a vintage grunge look, quizzes on basic biology, coding tasks, daily news roundups, and Live brainstorming.
  • Google said there is no announcement yet, indicating the interface is in testing and not publicly rolled out.
  • Coverage notes the feed could boost engagement against minimalist rivals such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek, following recent interest driven by Google’s Nano Banana image model and Sora’s rise in the App Store.
