Google's Gemini app will undergo a major overhaul, with a special version for macOS arriving.

Google is preparing to make a major change to its Gemini app. The new design will make the app simpler, cleaner, and faster. Furthermore, for the first time, a dedicated Gemini app will be available for macOS, providing users with an even better AI experience. Let's find out...

Google is preparing to further improve its Gemini app. A senior company official has confirmed that a major design upgrade is underway for the app, dubbed 'UX 2.0'. This means that this change won't simply involve removing or replacing a few buttons or icons, but rather a revamp of the entire app. Users have long complained that Gemini's interface feels cumbersome and unorganised. Therefore, Google is working to make it simpler, more interactive, and user-friendly. However, the company has not yet announced a launch date for this upgrade.

Why were users upset with Gemini's interface?

Many users on social media even wrote that ChatGPT's interface feels cleaner and better than Gemini's. People were particularly dissatisfied with the difficulty of finding settings, the misplacement of many features, and the overloaded layout. Keeping these concerns in mind, Google is now working to provide a better experience. Logan Kilpatrick, Group Product Manager at Google DeepMind, stated in a post on X that the company is completely redesigning Gemini. He stated that the goal of the UX 2.0 project is to make the app easier to use, ensuring users have easy access to every feature and a smoother overall experience.

What is the difference between a UX upgrade and a UI update?

It's important to note that Google's focus isn't solely on changing the UI. While UI simply improves the appearance of an app and things like buttons and icons, UX, or user experience, improves the entire user experience, from opening the app to using its features. Kilpatrick hinted that the next update will change the way users interact with Gemini. This means that the focus will be on improving the app's speed, navigation, and accessibility, so users can save time and easily find the content they need.
