Google is putting hand to interaction with Geminihis assistant based on artificial intelligenceto make it even more accessible and intuitive. According to what was discovered in an in -depth analysis of the code contained in the beta version 16.19.42.sa.arm64 of the Google app, a new gesture is being tested that would allow you to directly open the interface to the whole screen of Gemini from Overlay, without having to first start a conversation.
A more intelligent and less binding overlay
At the moment, the interaction with Gemini via Overlay has a limitation: to access the Full-Screen version of the assistant you need to start a dialogue. Only after this step an icon appears that allows you to expand the conversation in the full screen window. It is a functional approach, but not without friction, especially for those who want to quickly access the complete functionality of the assistant.
With the new gesture, identified thanks to a Teardown of the Code, this barrier could be overcome. According to the advances, the novelty would materialize in a bar positioned at the top of the Overlay: a swipe upwards on this bar would immediately activate the opening of Gemini’s full-screen screen, significantly simplifying the experience.
This change must be read like part of a wider strategy from Googlewhich aims to make access to artificial intelligence as immediate and contextual possible. A quick gesture, accessible at any time and from any screen of the device, translates into a more organic presence of the AIs within the Android ecosystem.
As for each function discovered through APK Teardowna certain degree of prudence should be maintained. The lines of code that refer to the new gesture could simply represent an internal test, a concept test or a function that, for strategic or technical reasons, will never see the light in the public version.
The evolution of access to Gemini is part of a wider trend, namely that of artificial intelligence as the beating heart of the Android experience. From predictive research features to integration with third -party apps, Gemini is increasingly at the center of Google’s mobile strategy. It remains to be seen when (and if) this new functionality will be officially released.
