Google Gemini Bubble UI with Gradient Design: Testing Expansion
Google is expanding its test of the Gemini overlay bubble feature. Instead of disappearing entirely when users tap outside the overlay, the interface now collapses into a floating bubble with a prominent spark icon. Tapping the bubble instantly resumes the conversation, making AI interactions more persistent and convenient. In the latest version, Google adds a gradient color effect to the bubble, aligning with the blue-purple gradient of the Gemini overlay. This design shift, along with a new "Minimize Gemini" button, signals a more seamless and visually unified assistant experience. Get the full breakdown here.
