Google is updating its Gemini overlay animation as part of the Material 3 Expressive design overhaul. Initially a smooth slide-up, the new animation adds a bouncy momentum, making the additional options more noticeable. A recent APK teardown reveals a beta version with enhanced animation for the input bar and options, aiming to improve user interaction with the still-new Gemini feature. While not yet publicly released, the changes suggest a continued push towards a more dynamic and engaging user experience.
