New Gemini icon
Gemini for Android v1.0.913571982 introduces a new Gemini icon with subtle tweaks to the gradient colors. Most users won’t notice this change, but if you pixel-peep, you can see the difference in color in the yellow and red gradients, which have reclaimed more area from the blue gradient.
