If you’ve used the app recently 📱, you might have noticed the top bar looks a bit busier. Previously, the interface was fairly minimalist 📉: the chat title sat right in the center, and tapping it would trigger a bottom sheet menu. A “new chat” button ➕ lived off by itself in the top-right corner.
That’s changed 🔄. The title has now shifted to the left ⬅️, sitting right next to the new chat icon. Following those are two prominent additions: a dedicated share button 🔗—which instantly generates a link and pulls up the Android share sheet—and a standard three-dot overflow menu 📑. This menu is now the home for Pin 📌, Rename ✏️, Delete 🗑️, Help ❓, and Feedback 💬.
While this layout feels more “standard” 📏 for a Google app than the old downward-facing caret, it does make the header feel a little cramped 🤏, especially with the hamburger menu 🍔 still occupying the far left. You could argue that tucking the share button inside the overflow menu would have kept things a bit cleaner 🧹.

These side-by-side icons have also popped up on the web version 💻 of Gemini ✨, though they haven’t made their way to iOS 🍎 just yet.
That said, the iPhone and iPad app 📱 didn’t get left out entirely. An update earlier this week ⬆️ (version 1.2026.0570001) subtly boosted the size of the Gemini “spark” icon ✨. It’s a minor aesthetic shift 🎨, but the larger sparkle now fills out its rounded square container much better, bringing it in line with the design language used across the rest of Google’s mobile suite 📱.
