TL;DR Google is testing a big visual revamp for Gemini on Android.
The interface brings brighter, more saturated colors along with new icons.
In addition, we also see a changed sidebar that takes up more space on the screen.
Over the last year, Google has brought several small changes to the Gemini interface on Android. And it looks like it’s already working on a redesign. With an upcoming version of the Google app, which also houses Gemini, we might see a significant uplift with fresh colors and more minimal icons.
We were able to activate these changes by tweaking the insides of the Google app, version 17.16.21. While these changes aren’t live for users, we bring you an exclusive preview.
As part of Gemini’s upcoming makeover on Android, the existing sky-blue background could be replaced with a more saturated blue with a subtle gradient. We’ve also discovered a different background for dark mode, replacing the current all-black interface.

Beyond the regular chat interface, these changes could also extend to temporary chats, as well as the Gemini Live interface. As part of this revamp, we could see differently colored backgrounds for light and dark modes for Gemini Live, as opposed to the existing color scheme, which only has a dark background.
