Gemini overlay crowding your phone screen? This nifty gesture could soon come to your rescue
Gemini could soon duck out of your way while it works in the background.
Google is testing a new gesture that could soon allow users to minimize Gemini chat overlays on their phone screens. The gesture involves swiping left or right on the overlay, which keeps the chat running in the background without interrupting the user's ability to use the phone. This development comes as Google continues to work on making Gemini more useful even when it's not the primary focus of the device.
Earlier this year, reports emerged that Google was exploring ways to make Gemini work without taking up space at the top of the screen. Additionally, the option to offload tasks to Spark without fully opening the app was recently spotted. Now, the focus appears to be on enhancing Gemini's functionality in the background.
