GoKawiilGemini app tests standalone dark mode toggle and notification history screen
Code inside version 17.61.19.sa.arm64 of the Google app shows Gemini building its own light/dark mode switch that would override the phone's system-wide setting, without affecting the rest of the Google app. The same teardown also reveals work on a new notification history screen for Gemini.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Independent theme controls suggest Google wants Gemini to feel like a distinct product rather than just a feature bolted onto the Google app, which could hint at plans to eventually spin it off further. A notification history screen would also make it easier for users to track past alerts, addressing a gap in how Gemini currently surfaces updates.
- Gemini may get a dark mode toggle independent of phone system settings
- The change would only apply to Gemini, not the broader Google app
- A new notification history screen is also in development
