Tl; DR
- Gemini obtains his own Android widget.
- The widget offers a shortcut to Gemini, file download options and Gemini Live.
- If you are tightened in space, you can reduce this to Gemini and Living, or even a GEMINI shortcut alone.
The beginning of May is only a few hours old, and from now on, this is just a matter of days until Google I / O 2025 starts. This year, the formatting is a little different from what it has seemed in the past years, Android not necessarily taking a burner at the rear for the current interests of Google, but obtaining its own special pre-I / O event. Even with all this on the verge of performing just by the horizon, Google is not about to sit for a few more weeks, and already deploys a very welcome addition.
Android widgets offer incredibly practical means to quickly access the functions of the application you use the most, directly from the home screen of your phone. We recently examined some changes in the work for Google’s widgets for Keep and Calendar, but today we have a better 9TO5GOOGLE Place the arrival of a new widget just for Gemini.
This one seems to arrive with version 1.0.751104895 of the Gemini application – we did not immediately obtain this update when checking Google Play, but you can still Download the application bundle And release it if you cannot endure the wait. This is exactly what we ended up doing, and of course, Gemini now includes a single widget to install.
Google gives us a good flexibility here for the resizing of the widget to meet our needs, but whatever your configuration, you have your search bar (with vocal input) to start a gemini interaction, shortcuts to invite gemini with a file, image or new photo of your camera, and an option to jump directly in Gemini Live. You can even become really, really tiny, how some of these download options start to hide until you are just with Gemini and to live, and finally find yourself with a lonely gemini icon to its smallest.
Google would have said 9TO5GOOGLE That the gemini widget should arrive for everyone in next week. Google is also bringing gemstone widgets similar to iOS.
