Gemini's file attachment interface was recently upgraded by Google, which replaced the tiny pop-up window with a larger sheet with four file attachment buttons and choices specifically for Gemini's Deep Research and Canvas tools. Google released the new attachment interface to users late last month, after we initially noticed it in a teardown in February. However, it appears that the corporation is still making changes to the attachment user interface.
By moving the Deep Research and Canvas options, we've noticed another impending update that streamlines the attachment interface. A new feature that could allow users to improve their prompts with a tap is also previewed in the revised UI.
To assist users in getting started, Gemini now shows a few recommendation chips above the text box on the home screen. To discover what Gemini can accomplish, how the chatbot can assist with planning, how it can assist with topic research, or how to grow better at writing, users can tap on these chips.
Google appears to be replacing these suggestion chips with new shortcuts that will provide users with faster access to the Deep Research and Canvas tools, as well as options to make an image or a video, as shown in the screenshots that are attached. Although they are not available in the present release, the Create Image and Create Video options are brand-new features that might be included in a later version.
We've manually activated the Power up option to give you a preview, even though it's not working on the most recent version of the Google app (version 16.13.38.sa.arm64). As you can see, the feature basically enables users to tap to enhance their text prompts and receive more thorough answers from Gemini.
The option was initially discovered by TestingCatalog in Gemini's web version last year, but users have not yet been able to access it. It might finally be ready for prime time now that Google is working on bringing it to Gemini on mobile. As soon as it becomes generally accessible, we'll update this post.
