And while most of the time Android users enjoy the privilege of being first in line to check out Google\u2019s latest mobile changes, that\u2019s not necessarily always the case. Earlier this week we saw iPhone users getting first crack at the next evolution of Gemini\u2019s UI \u2014 and now we\u2019re finally hearing about its spread to Android.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been tracking Google\u2019s progress towards bringing a new look to Gemini\u2019s UI for a while now, and a few days back, iPhone users started sharing the new animations that they were seeing. Not even all of them had access to the new look, with a textured-dot halftone appearance to it, but at least some did \u2014 and we still hadn\u2019t caught a whiff of it yet on Android. But now that oversight is beginning to be corrected, as Telegram user UHSIC shares this screen recording with us:<\/p>\n<p>Right now, this is still a bit of a tease, as access appears quite limited \u2014 we\u2019ve yet to spot this on our own devices. We also haven\u2019t yet been able to confirm if some of those other UI changes spotted on iOS are similarly starting to hit Gemini on Android as part of this, like that new look for the plus menu we separately saw in limited testing on Android last month.<\/p>\n<p>Is Gemini on your Android phone already sporting this new look? Lucky you! Swing on down to the comments below and give us your impressions on Gemini\u2019s latest glow-up.
