Google’s app for tools like AI Mode, Circle to Search, and Google Lens has been hinting at the Nano Banana. The Google executive has further fueled the hype with a cryptic post on X.
Google’s image-generating model, Nano Banana, has been the talk of the town since its launch at Gemini in August. While it’s primarily a text-to-image tool, users are using it to edit photos, create figurines, and restore old photos.
In the weeks since its launch, Nano Banana has made over 200 million edits and has sparked several social media trends.
Following the success, Google may be planning to integrate the image model into some of its other apps and services. As Android Authority reports, hints of Nano Banana have appeared in the code for the Google app on Android. The image model appears across various elements of the app, including AI Mode for Search, Google Lens, and Circle to Search.
While Google hasn’t officially announced the implementation of Nano Banana in the Google app, one of its executives hinted at it via X. Rajan Patel, Google’s vice president of search engineering, reshared a post from Android Authority:
Notably, Android Authority also found hints of Nano Banana’s arrival on Google Photos last month.
To remember: Nano Banana – also known internally as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image – is Google DeepMind’s latest image editing breakthrough integrated within the Gemini app. It allows users to transform, blend, and stylize images using intuitive, text-based prompts.
