JAKARTA - Google is again presenting a significant update for iPhone users by releasing a main screen widget (homescreen widget) for the Gemini app. After previously adding shortcuts on the key screen, Control Center, and Action Button, this update makes it easier for users to access AI Gemini features directly from their device's homepage.
In this update, users will find two types of widgets designed to provide quick access to Gemini's main functions. The first gadget is boxy and contains four main icons, including the Gemini total icon in the upper left corner which opens the app along with the keyboard. The color of this icon adjusts the type of user account blue' or purple for free and reddening users for Gemini Advanced subscribers.
