TL;DR

Google is testing extra spots for its viral picture editor, Nano Banana, to occupy. It's testing the choice to make use of Nano Banana proper from the Gemini overlay, which seems once you activate Gemini over one other app. Additionally it is testing a “Feeling Fortunate” button for Nano Banana, although we’re not sure of what it does.

Google has been dedicated to creating its viral Nano Banana picture generator obtainable extra extensively than any of its different AI instruments. We’ve witnessed it being added to apps apart from the Gemini shortcut, with Google even testing it contained in the NotebookLM and Messages apps. And the campaign doesn’t finish there, with extra spots being occupied to serve you extra banana-based recipes.

Google is experimenting with one other new methodology to make use of Nano Banana — this time in Gemini’s floating overlay. With this tweak, a brand new “Edit this picture” button seems once you add a picture whereas accessing Gemini on high of one other app or menu. We noticed this variation with model 16.42.61 of the Google app, although it’s not extensively obtainable but. This differs from the prevailing possibility, which prompts you to have a dwell dialog based mostly on the picture’s contents utilizing Gemini Dwell.

Along with not too long ago including the choice to Google Lens and Search’s AI Mode, the corporate is testing the choice to convey Nano Banana to Google Pictures, the place it could possible be used to edit photos, create collages, or fuse components from completely different photos with minimal intervention.

As compared, Nano Banana’s addition to the Gemini overlay isn’t as stunning and may have been added a very long time in the past.

Moreover, Google is testing a “Feeling Fortunate” possibility with Nano Banana. We’re not sure what it does, however one can count on it to recreate a preferred or trending impact on a picture. Notably, the I’m Feeling Fortunate button on Google Search opens the highest consequence as an alternative of loading an inventory of outcomes.
