Google is quietly reworking Gemini’s sidebar and testing a new overlay animation

Google app version 17.73.15 has revealed that the upcoming offline mode for Gemini Live requires an active internet connection to be set up beforehand, according to new code strings. The offline experience is expected to function with "limited features," suggesting it may not include real-time data or support web-dependent extensions.

Users will be required to reconnect to the internet to access the full capabilities of Gemini Live once the offline mode is enabled. Google is reportedly preparing for an offline mode in Gemini Live, but users should expect certain limitations when using the assistant without an internet connection.
