Details

A Thinking level option is being added to the Gemini app for some users. The new menu appears at the bottom only when Fast (Gemini 3 Flash) or Gemini 3.1 Pro is selected in the model picker, with two choices: Standard and Extended. This menu is not shown in Thinking mode, and the rollout is still limited. It resembles the Low, Medium, and High options in Google AI Studio.

At the same time, the Gemini app is also expanding its third-party app integrations. Currently @GitHub, @OpenStax, @Spotify, and @WhatsApp are visible, and the support documentation lists @Canva, @Instacart, and @OpenTable as upcoming additions that have not yet been officially rolled out.

  • Canva: Supports generating designs, accessing design, template, and project files, moving items between folders, responding to comments, and editing Gemini-generated images in Canva.
  • Instacart: Lets users check grocery stock at nearby stores and add recipe ingredients directly to a cart.
  • OpenTable: Lets users check restaurant availability, and create, change, or cancel reservations and view existing reservations via Reserve with Google.
