Google is working on a new integration to make it even easier to use its artificial intelligence-based visual production tool Nano Banana. This tool, which was previously accessible via the “Create image” option on the Gemini website or via Google Lens, is now placed directly in the search bar of the Google application. Thus, users’ access to the visual production process will become much faster and more direct.
In the past weeks, it was revealed that Nano Banana works via the address bar in the Chrome Canary version for Android. Thanks to this new feature, users could create images just by using the address bar without opening any tabs. However, it seems that Google does not want to limit this tool only to Chrome.
Nano Banana is being actively tested in the Google app
In an APK review carried out in early October, it was noticed that Google was testing a visual production function in its application within the scope of AI Mode. At that time, this feature was not yet active. However, a new analysis of the 16.47.49.ve.arm64 version of the Google application shows that the feature is now working within the application.
In the new system, users will be able to see the “Create image” option by clicking on the plus icon that appears on the left when they touch the search bar in the Google application. Once this option is selected, the user will be asked to write a text prompt and then the system will produce an image suitable for this text. In terms of functionality, it is similar to the system in Chrome Canary; However, this time, working directly through the Google application takes ease of access one step further.
Thanks to this feature, users will now be able to create images with artificial intelligence without having to go to a separate website or navigate through additional menus. This ease of use can significantly improve the experience, especially for mobile users.
The widespread use of such tools brings with it new discussions in the field of visual content production. Issues such as copyrights, visual content security and ethical limits of content produced with artificial intelligence continue to come to the fore after such developments. There is no official statement about when Google will make this new function available to the general public. However, the fact that the tests have reached this stage indicates that the feature may be offered to a wider user base in the near future.
