Five chats now cap Gemini Android list

Five recent conversations now occupy the maximum visible space in the Gemini app for Android. Google is pushing this interface change through a server-side update. The rollout does not require users to download a new version of the application. The update arrives after the recent shift from Spark to Task.

The navigation drawer has been restructured. The search function moved to the top-right corner. New chat remains the first entry in the list. Library now sits directly beneath it. Previously, that option appeared near the bottom of the drawer.

The app limits the initial display to five items to prevent crowding. A More option expands the remaining list when tapped. For subscribers to AI Ultra, the full expanded list reads: New chat, Library, Images, Scheduled, Daily brief, Customize, Students, Videos, and Gems.

Settings have been reorganized into a single page. Previously, preferences were divided between the account menu and a separate area. The account menu now handles only account switching, feedback, and help requests. The new unified page opens with Manage account and Usage limits.

A Preferences section follows, containing Notifications, Personal Intelligence, Avatar, Task settings, Theme, Skills, Voice, Media, Device controls, Cart and orders, and Gemini Notebook. Theme is marked as a new entry. Data and privacy controls include Import memory, Contact info from your devices, Gemini Apps Activity, Your public links, and the Privacy Help Hub. A final section lists Help, Report a problem, About, and Updates.

The same changes reached iOS, macOS, and the web app last week. That launch coincided with the release of Gemini 4 Argon. Android users are now seeing the update arrive more broadly. Other recent developments include Gemini Notebook becoming available as a Connected App. Free users are moving to Auto models as the app adds thinking levels. A new Map tool replaced the slash shortcut with the at symbol.
