Gemini on Android just got a small but handy usability upgrade
AssembleDebug / Android Authority TL;DR 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. 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. Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority The gesture effectively reduces one step by replacing the previous button to launch Gemini in full-screen mode, which would appear once you begin a conversation. We spotted this new Gemini full-screen gesture back in May 2025. My colleague Mishaal Rahman has confirmed that this new swipe gesture for launching Gemini is already working on their new Galaxy Z Fold 7. The new gesture has arrived first on the newly launched Galaxy Z Fold 7, and possibly the Flip 7 and the Flip 7 FE. Since Google has already confirmed that all new features coming to these foldables will be available for other manufacturers soon, the same can be expected of the slightly updated Gemini overlay.

New ‘Nazi salute' furore erupts in US as Democrat is accused of making the same gesture as Elon Musk
Remember that moment, back in January, when Elon Musk was accused of doing a 'Nazi salute' on stage? The Tesla and SpaceX boss, riding high on his own supply after spending hundreds of millions of dollars to help Donald Trump get elected the previous year, got a little too excited after the US President's inauguration, and made a strange gesture. Mr Musk brought his right hand to his heart and then, with force, thrust it up and out to his side. He then turned and did the same thing towards the people seated behind him. Mr Musk paired it with a message of, 'my heart goes out to you,' which suggested he was, albeit clumsily, gesturing as though he were sending his heart out to the audience. Well, more like biffing it at them. Still, it was not the sort of gesture any of us see in our daily lives, and it bore a striking resemblance to a sinister one from the past, and it was enacted with a strange aggression. So those predisposed to believe the worst of Mr Musk did so. The hostile reactions ranged from believing it was a straight-up, intentional Nazi salute, to believing it was merely intended as a piece of trolling, to thinking it looked like a Nazi salute, but only by accident. Mr Musk didn't necessarily help himself by refraining from offering a clear explanation of what he meant by the gesture until days afterwards. 'Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired,' Mr Musk said in his first response. Later, he complained about media coverage of the moment. 'How many legacy media publications, talk shows, whatever, try to claim that I was a Nazi because of some random hand gesture at a rally where all I said was that my heart goes out to you?' he told CNBC. Mr Musk's gesture happened more than four months ago now, yet it lives on, particularly on the more extreme wings of American politics. On the left, it's still occasionally brought up as evidence that Mr Musk is some sort of fascist. The billionaire didn't help himself, in that regard, by lobbying so enthusiastically for Germany's far-right AfD party before the nation's most recent election. There's something much more substantive to critique, there, than an awkward hand gesture. On the right, a great deal of fun has been had perusing every Democratic politician's body movements since January 21, in search of anything that could be characterised as a parallel to Mr Musk's gesture, and hence a flagrant example of hypocrisy. Enter Cory Booker. He's a Democratic Senator from New Jersey, and a former (perhaps also future) failed presidential candidate. Over the weekend Mr Booker attended a party convention in Anaheim, California. At one point, during his time on stage, he performed a gesture similar to Mr Musk's. He started by bringing his right hand to his chest, and then extended the arm in a wave to the crowd. Here is how the still images of those moments look, side-by-side. And while you can watch the footage of each in the player at the top of this article, I'll pop that video here too. So, the upshot is, elements of the American right have accused the media of hypocrisy for reporting on one of these gestures, but not really on the other. 'You reported on Elon's hand gesture and compared him to a Nazi. I was looking for your article on Cory Booker's salute, but I couldn't find it,' Libs of TikTok account runner Chaya Raichik tweeted at MSNBC. 'I'm sure you probably just missed this story by mistake. Here's the clip. I look forward to your report condemning him.' 'Democrat Senator Cory Booker appears to do a 'Nazi' salute in front of a large crowd of Democrats. I'm looking forward to the wall to wall coverage from the 'honest' and totally not biased media,' said another right-wing influencer, Colin Rugg. 'Same gesture, different political party. Funny how that works,' said activist Brandon Straka, joking (sarcastically) that Mr Booker was 'giving a heartfelt, patriotic salute' while Mr Musk was 'personally resurrecting the Third Reich, according to the media'. 'Cory Booker gives the exact same 'Nazi' salute to 4000 California Democrat Party delegates that the left has been screeching about Elon Musk doing for at least 130 days. I look forward to hearing all about how this is (D)ifferent,' said Kevin Dalton. The (D) being a reference to Mr Booker being a Democrat. 'I look forward to Senator Chris Murphy asking Cory Booker about doing the 'heil Hitler salute' like he did about Elon,' said Sara Rose. We could keep going; there is no shortage of similar examples. Mr Musk himself reposted a clip of Mr Booker's gesture with a raised eyebrow emoji. 'It's hilariously ironic to see the ret**ds who called Elon Musk a Nazi for a gesture doing the same thing,' the post he shared read. A spokeswoman for Mr Booker, Maya Krishna-Rogers, has said the Senator was 'obviously just waving to the crowd'. 'Anyone who claims his wave is the same as Elon Musk's gesture is operating in bad faith. The differences between the two are obvious to anyone without an agenda.'

Google is working on a simpler way to open Gemini full-screen from the overlay (APK teardown)
Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a new gesture that will make it easier to open the full-screen Gemini experience from the overlay. The Gemini overlay already offers users a shortcut to open the full-screen experience, but it only appears after you start a conversation with the chatbot. The upcoming gesture will not require users to start a conversation and will let users open the full-screen experience from anywhere on their phones. Although you can open the full-screen Gemini experience using the overlay from anywhere on your phone, it's only possible after you start a conversation with the chatbot. There's currently no way to open the full-screen experience without starting a conversation, but that could change soon. Authority Insights story on Android Authority.

An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. Google is working on a new gesture that will allow users to open the full-screen Gemini experience from the overlay without starting a conversation. For now, the shortcut to open the full-screen experience only appears after you start a conversation in the Gemini overlay, and this shortcut opens that specific conversation in a full-screen window. We've spotted an upcoming gesture in the latest beta release of the Google app (version beta) that will let users open the full-screen experience without starting a conversation. As shown in the attached screenshots, the Gemini overlay could soon get a new bar at the top, and swiping up on this bar will open Gemini in a full-screen window. You can see the new gesture in action in the video embedded below. The swipe-up gesture will work regardless of whether you trigger it from the Gemini overlay on the home screen or while using an app, making it incredibly easy to open the full-screen experience from anywhere on your phone. Although it's not live in the current beta release, we expect the gesture to roll out with a subsequent Google app update, since it already functions as intended. We'll update this post as soon as it's widely available. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ . You can stay anonymous or get credit for the info, it's your choice.
