Gemini App Launches ‘Answer Now’ to Bypass In-Depth Thought
Google has launched a significant update to its Gemini app, introducing the “Answer now” button. This feature is available for users of the Pro (Gemini 3 Pro) and Thinking (Gemini 3 Flash) models, enhancing how users seek information.
Details of the ‘Answer Now’ Feature
The “Answer now” button appears next to the spinning status indicator. However, it is not visible in the Fast (Gemini 3 Flash) model. When a user taps the button, Gemini confirms that it is “Skipping in-depth thinking” and delivers an answer promptly.
Update Implementation
This feature replaces the previous “Skip” button. Google has rolled out the update on both free and paid accounts across various platforms, including Android, iOS, and the web. Users on iOS might still see the old terminology in some cases.
Key Changes in Usage Limits
- Google has adjusted the usage limits for both the Thinking and Pro models.
- These changes allow for more streamlined interactions within the app.
With the introduction of the “Answer now” button, Gemini aims to improve user experience by providing quicker responses without compromising the depth of information for specific queries.
Conclusion
This update highlights Google’s commitment to enhancing its Gemini app. Users can now enjoy improved functionalities that facilitate faster information retrieval while still leveraging their chosen model.
