TL;DR
  • Gemini debuted a new interface last month, with Chat/Task buttons on the home screen to choose your preference.
  • Instead of making that selection each time, Google may be considering a new “Answer type” default app setting.
  • It’s not clear if Google intends to move forward with this or not, but it would mark a sudden reversal in terms of UI design.

By this point, smartphone owners are well used to the idea of apps that are constantly being updated, but AI has really taken that to the next level. When we’re not full-on seeing new models arrive, it feels like there’s always at least something else new in play, whether that’s added functionality, app connectivity, or just a tweaked interface. A couple weeks back, we saw Google start rolling out a new UI for Gemini, with “Chat” and “Task” buttons to get started. But now we’re wondering if Google’s already planning to change that up.
