temporary-chat

Google is rolling out a new glow effect to the Gemini overlay on Android, with the animated multicolor border now appearing around the entire screen perimeter instead of just the prompt box. The company has also repositioned Temporary chat to the top-right corner on web, making it more prominent while reducing side panel clutter.

Google is testing a UI redesign for its Gemini app that moves the Temporary chat feature from a navigation drawer icon to a prominent button on the homepage. The change aims to make privacy-focused conversations more discoverable while maintaining Temporary chats' core privacy guarantee: conversations aren't stored in history, used for model training, or personalization.
