• Google is rolling out a new gesture to launch Gemini in full screen from the small overlay at the bottom of the screen.
• This change was spotted in May and is now functional on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and possibly the Flip 7 and the Flip 7 FE.

Samsung launched its latest crop of foldables yesterday, and Google followed up with its share of announcements. From allowing direct Gemini Live access on the cover screens of flip phones to injecting its AI Mode into Circle to Search and Lens, Google revealed various changes coming to Google apps, especially those with AI.

In addition to those announcements, Google has begun rolling out a new gesture that allows for easy switching between the floating Gemini overlay and the Gemini app in full-screen mode. You will now notice a small horizontal bar at the top of the mini Gemini overlay. When you hold and swipe on this bar upwards, the overlay will transition to the Gemini app, where you can continue the conversation with the AI assistant.
