The Gemini app’s temporary chat icon suddenly changed to something that screams a lot less “temporary.”
Temporary chat works very similar to incognito mode, but for conversations with Gemini. The icon still has the same design: a small chat icon outlined with a dotted line. Is busy places and even missing completely, but it looks the same since it was first. launched.
But now it seems completely different. A server-side update appears to have changed the familiar temporary chat icon. The new icon looks like a small oval with a pencil sticking out of it. It lives in the same place: in the upper right corner of a new chat.
When tapped, the original icon appears in the middle of the page along with a description of what the temporary chat is for. The icon at the top is highlighted in blue, as before.
The new temporary chat icon in Gemini doesn’t look final, and if it is, it may have appeared out of nowhere due to a bug. Only the mobile app seems to be adjusted. It seems to fit the Gemini app’s identity a little more with its rounded appearance, much like the text box and options at the bottom. Still, the dotted chat icon was immediately recognizable, if a bit square.
There doesn’t seem to be anything different about the Gemini app as a whole. Notebooks They are still visible in the menu sidebar and the UI appears to be intact.
There seems to be no official information about the new icon. It’s a small tweak, but it can certainly be a bit disconcerting if you’re looking for temporary chat in a hurry.
