Gemini app streamlines thinking level picker and adds new notification controls

Full text

TL;DR

The Gemini app’s model picker dropdown menu now only shows a single “Extended Thinking” thinking level option.

The app is also adding new notification controls for things like Daily Brief, scheduled actions, and more.

Gemini Spark is also getting a revamped UI with a top navbar displaying categories like “In Progress,” “Needs input,” and others.

Google started rolling out a redesigned UI for the Gemini app a few months ago. Now, the company is seemingly fine-tuning that UI to make it more streamlined for its users. It’s also adding new notification settings and making changes to the Gemini Spark UI.

The model picker dropdown menu in the Gemini app now only shows a single “Extended Thinking” option under the “Thinking Level” menu (via 9to5Google ). Previously, this dropdown menu listed a “Standard” thinking level as well. However, since that was the default level, displaying it was slightly redundant.
