TL;DR Google is working on a new gesture that will make it easier to open the full-screen Gemini experience from the overlay.
The Gemini overlay already offers users a shortcut to open the full-screen experience, but it only appears after you start a conversation with the chatbot.
The upcoming gesture will not require users to start a conversation and will let users open the full-screen experience from anywhere on their phones.
Although you can open the full-screen Gemini experience using the overlay from anywhere on your phone, it’s only possible after you start a conversation with the chatbot. There’s currently no way to open the full-screen experience without starting a conversation, but that could change soon.
