Google's Gemini app on Android can now create, preview and edit files and slide decks inside the chat

Mashable, citing 9to5Google and a Google blog post, reports that the Gemini app on Android got two upgrades this week. The overlay that appears when you call up the assistant now has blurred edges and swirls of color, a change first seen on Pixel 11 phones that is now on every supported Android device. Users can also generate, preview and edit files in the chat window, open a file full screen, highlight text to ask Gemini about it, and create and edit slide decks.

• Ask Gemini to draft a one-page document or a short slide deck for something you need this week, then open it full screen and fix the wording by hand before you share it.
• Do not put customer lists or private business files into a chat just to test the editing: try it on a made-up example first.
