Google makes changes to Gemini app names and updates Gboard emoji picker

Google is making some updates to its Gemini AI app and the Gboard keyboard on Android, making them easier to use and understand.

Gemini app gets new names

Google’s Gemini app is getting new names for its different versions. The free version will now just be called “Gemini.” If you pay for the advanced version, it will be called “Gemini Advanced.” There was also talk about a “Gemini Ultra” name, but Google decided not to use it for now.

These changes are meant to make it clearer which version you are using and what features you get with each one. The changes are rolling out soon, so users will start seeing the new names in the app and on their devices.

Gboard emoji picker gets a fresh look

Google is also redesigning the emoji picker in its Gboard keyboard. The new design makes it easier to find and use emojis. Now, the emoji categories are shown at the top in a row, and the layout is simpler. This update helps users quickly switch between different emoji groups, like smileys, animals, or food.

The new emoji picker is being tested with some users, and it will be available to more people in the coming weeks. These updates show that Google is working to make its apps and tools more user-friendly and clear for everyone.
