In addition to 3.6 Flash, Google today is also updating Gemini for macOS with the Neural Expressive redesign.
Back at I/O 2026 in May, Gemini on Android, iOS, and the web received the Neural Expressive design language. It’s now available in the Mac app.
At launch, you’ll see the same colorful gradient temporarily surround the prompt bar. All icons throughout the app have been updated to the thin outline style. On the homepage alone, there are refreshed buttons for the side panel, voice input, Temporary chat, and even full app/mini view (it’s now rounded). You’ll also see new icons in the ‘plus’ menu for consistency across platforms.
Old vs. new
The navigation drawer switches to pill-shaped indicators to note what you’re currently viewing, while the Settings menu has also been updated.
