Description

TL;DR


  • Google is currently looking to expand access to its Nano Banana editor by integrating it across apps and services.

  • We’ve uncovered evidence of Nano Banana preparations in Google Lens and Circle to Search.

  • The Lens integration appears slightly further along, and mirrors what we’ve already seen from Search AI Mode.




Nano Banana might be the best thing to happen to Google’s AI offerings in a while, and over the last few weeks we’ve had a lot of fun checking out what the system can do — even if it does seem to struggle a little with varying aspect ratios. We’ve already seen hints that Google has big plans for the tool, like integrating Nano Banana with Search AI Mode, and today we’re looking into a few more places where Nano Banana appears to be getting ready to make an appearance.

For this analysis, we’re working with version 16.40.18.sa.arm64 of the Google Android app. The UI elements we’re sharing here aren’t yet visible when you run this release on your own phone, but we’re able to get an early preview of these still very much in-development changes.
