TL;DR Gemini’s latest Android update introduces a new icon with slightly different gradient colors.
The update also allows Gemini to receive audio files directly from the Android share sheet, making it easier to share files from audio apps.
We’ve also spotted new “Luminous” icons destined for the Gemini widget.
Gemini was the center of attention at The Android Show: I/O Edition 2026, thanks to all the new features and UX coming as part of the Gemini Intelligence update. The Gemini app has now been updated with a new Gemini icon, plus it now gets the ability to attach audio files as input for your prompts, and we’ve spotted new icons for the Gemini widget, too.
New Gemini icon Gemini for Android v1.0.913571982 introduces a new Gemini icon with subtle tweaks to the gradient colors. Most users won’t notice this change, but if you pixel-peep, you can see the difference in color in the yellow and red gradients, which have reclaimed more area from the blue gradient.
