Google tests gesture to collapse Gemini overlay into a bubble

Google is testing a new gesture for Gemini: swiping left or right on the overlay collapses it into a bubble while the chat continues running in the background. This will let users use their phone without closing the assistant.

• Swiping left or right on the overlay collapses Gemini into a bubble
• Chat continues running in the background after collapsing
• Google previously tested running Gemini without a block at the top of the screen
