Google’s new Gemini feature aimed at multitaskers is starting to roll out

Google has been developing an interface improvement for its Gemini feature, aimed at enhancing the experience for multitaskers. Recently, users have begun to notice a new minimize button within the Gemini overlay, signaling a gradual rollout of this option. This feature addresses a previous oversight that confined users to the chatbot interface until their task was completed, hindering other phone activities.

Google first hinted at this adjustment last year, testing the waters with a minimize function. The latest development reveals that the company has indeed implemented its solution, with users reporting the appearance of the minimize button. The UI design for this new button mirrors an earlier discovery from June, featuring a persistent "Minimize Gemini" button that remains accessible throughout the conversation.

Interestingly, an earlier version of this interface lacked a direct minimize button, potentially discouraging some users from discovering this helpful feature.
