  • Google could soon make further changes to Gemini’s attachment interface.
  • The company might relocate the Deep Research and Canvas tools to the home page and add a new Power up button to the attachment sheet.
  • The Power up button will help users quickly enhance their prompts to get more detailed responses.

Update, April 21, 2025 (04:24 PM ET): A few weeks back, we took a look at some changes in the works for how we interact with Gemini on Android. Specifically, Google was retooling Gemini’s compose box. We already got a preview of those new shortcuts for Gemini tools, and got a peek at Power up in action, but it wasn’t clear at the time exactly how this might all come together. Google still isn’t quite ready to hit “go” on these changes, but we’ve identified what could be the final look for the interface:

As you begin to enter text you’ll have the option to tap that little Gemini pencil icon to take advantage of Power up, and you’ll quickly get those expanded text prompts right in the compose box, ready for you to edit or submit to Gemini. While Google could revise this further before pushing it live, but considering how close this is to what we see with Gemini on the web, we’re probably in the right ballpark.
