Google is adding a new feature to the Gemini app for Android users – a Material You-style widget. This new widget matches the look of your phone’s wallpaper, adjusting colors to make it blend in nicely with the rest of your screen.
The new widget is available in version 1.0.751104895 of the Gemini app and works on Android 10 or newer. This widget comes in different sizes, from a small 1×1 to a larger 5×3, so you can pick the size that works best for your homescreen.
The main feature of the Gemini widget is a bar layout, similar to the recent update for Google Keep. This bar has a sparkle icon that opens the app with the keyboard ready for you to start typing right away.
Other icons include a microphone for voice input, a camera button to add photos, and a Gemini Live button for quick access to that feature. The widget also offers quick shortcuts for uploading files or photos from your gallery.
If you choose the bar layout, it needs to stretch across the full width of your homescreen to show all the options. There’s also a grid-style version with a “Gemini” or “Ask Gemini” search bar at the top. In this style, the widget comes in a 2×2 size or larger, where the icons are shown with text labels.
This widget aims to give you quicker access to Gemini, making it easier to use Google AI. You can download it from the Play Store or sideload it from third third-party source link given here. The widget should be available to all Android users within the next week.
