The new account switcher in the Gemini on Android.

Left - It will still show up as floating dialog on foldables/tablets. On phones it will cover your whole screen.

Some users reported that the new account switcher is already available in the Gmail app. Google is adding it in other apps as well.

Play Store adding Purchase Verification option under the Payment and Subnoscriptions section. It shows the method of purchase verification which you have enabled in the settings of Play Store. It could be either password or biometric verification.

Google should enable this UI on phones as well. ☹️ This looks cool.

This type of UI currently shows on foldables and tablets only.

Google is rolling out the Gemini model switcher in the Android app (for me, it's available in beta).

If you see any kind of ads here in the channel about crypto and anything else, they are being served by Telegram, not me. I have no control over it. I have been contacted several times by crypto/betting bois for promotion, but I choose not to do it.

It's not possible to turn them off (without reaching some stupid level 50 boost).

Although it's kinda impossible to reach Level 50 easily, premium users can still boost the channel by tapping the below link -
