TL;DR
- Google has been working on a new feature that will automatically minimize the Gemini overlay while it processes a user request.
- It could allow people to use their phones normally while Gemini is processing their request.
- Google was also working on a minimize button for Gemini a few months ago, but that hasn’t been rolled out yet.
Gemini can be very helpful, especially as a floating overlay that pops up when you long-press the power button. However, that overlay doesn’t let users do anything else on their phones while Gemini is running. Fortunately, Google seems to be testing a new behavior for the Gemini overlay that could be immensely helpful.
