UI/UX changes for the sake of it—classic way to justify a paycheck.

Gemini video, texting, hangouts… wait, we’ve come full circle!

Gemini always felt rushed to begin with, so not shocking.

Honestly, I like it.

Great, a new Gemini UI. Meanwhile, the calendar interface still feels like it’s stuck in 2005.

The design feels like a step backward from the minimal rainbow bar on Pixel 4’s Assistant rollout. Even Siri is trying to imitate that now.

Why so negative? I think it taking up less space is an improvement. Plus, the new ‘Summarize’ button is super convenient for articles. The FAB list does look a little awkward, though.

The return of the ‘Summarize’ button :fire::fire::fire:

What we really need is a service that doesn’t hallucinate, not just another UI redesign. :clap:

That’s just how LLMs work, though. Fixing that would require a whole new technology.

Another day, another Google intern making changes for promotion points. Why are these updates even considered newsworthy anymore?

Thanks, Google. That looks worse, as usual. :-1:

I think it looks cleaner, actually.

Is there a way to disable or delete this on Android?

Yes, set your ‘Default digital assistant app’ to none, just like you would with default phone or browser apps.

Thanks! That’s exactly what I needed.
