Some changes have already come to Gemini app

Gemini is likely to get the lion's share of reveals at I/O 2026, but eagle-eyed users have already spotted some changes rolling out to the Gemini app. There seems to be a new "Thinking level" menu rolling out to the app's model picker, with "standard" and "extended" options added to the Fast and Pro models.

The Gemini app also seems to be prepping more integrations with third-party apps, with support documents suggesting support for Canva, Instacart, and OpenTable is on the way. Which means Gemini should be able to control these apps on your behalf, based on prompts you give it.

No doubt we'll hear more during the I/O conference.
