• Users access the feature via the Gemini app’s Try Image Editing Banana icon or Google AI Studio, upload a clear solo photo, then paste viral prompts to generate the look.

• The Nano Banana wave follows earlier 3D figurine outputs from the same tool, and social feeds now include memes and posts suggesting it could substitute pre‑wedding shoots.
