After coming to the web and iOS, the Gemini app is beginning to roll out chat search on Android.
Upon opening the navigation drawer, some users are seeing a “Search for chats” field at the top. Tapping takes you to a straightforward fullscreen interface. Search came to gemini.google.com in May, and iOS in recent weeks. As an Android user, I’ve just been using the PWA (which just picked up the new icon) as a workaround.
Search in the Gemini Android app is not widely rolled out. Similarly, the hamburger button/nav drawer is still seeing limited availability and not yet in the stable channel (or the iOS app). The four-color glow for the Gemini overlay is not widely rolled out either, while the old set of logos is still live in a few places.
Google app 16.26 widely rolled out to the stable channel yesterday, with a server-side update bringing the updated blue “Hello” greeting, which is now live across all platforms, and four-color “thinking” ring.
