Gemini notebooks expand to mobile as Google brings AI organization tools to Android and iOS

Gemini notebooks expand beyond the web with mobile rollout

An expansion to additional countries in Europe will happen at a later date. Last year, Google rolled out an update for Gemini that introduced NotebookLM integration, allowing the AI to use NotebookLM as a source. Earlier this month, that integration got a little deeper after the tech giant introduced "notebooks" in Gemini, a dedicated space to organize your chats and files. Google said notebooks would eventually come to the mobile app, and now it's here. Today, Google posted on social media, officially announcing the rollout of notebooks in Gemini to mobile users. This integration gives the chatbot access to all of your personal, unshared notebooks directly inside the app. At the same time, you can use your chats with the AI as sources in new or existing unshared notebooks. When notebooks in Gemini was first introduced, it was only available to Google AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus subscribers on the web. With this expansion to mobile, the feature is now available to both paid and free users. It's worth noting that free, Plus, Pro, and Ultra users get up to 50, 100, 300, and 600 sources per notebook, respectively. Google also says that notebooks in Gemini will expand to additional countries in Europe. However, the tech giant did not offer a date for this expansion, only stating that it will happen "soon."

Gemini app rolls out notebooks to Android as iOS gets Liquid Glass

Following the launch earlier this month, Gemini notebooks are now available on Android and iOS, while the iPhone has been updated with Liquid Glass. "Notebooks" appear in the Gemini side panel between My stuff and Gems. You'll see recent collections appear, with "New notebook" at the bottom of the list. They can be used like simple folders for conversations (tap the three-dot overflow menu to group), or as a "dedicated space to organize your chats and files." These notebooks sync with NotebookLM. As such, there are source limits depending on your Google AI tier. Free users get up to 50 sources per notebook, while it's 100/notebook for AI Plus and 300/notebook for Pro. Ultra subscribers get 600 sources per notebook. Google says Gemini notebooks are "coming soon to additional countries in Europe." Meanwhile, Google yesterday updated (version 1.2026.1710203) the Gemini app to target iOS 26. As such, you'll notice the new Liquid Glass keyboard and menus, like when tapping the 'plus' menu. There's also an updated side panel for iPad users, but it's otherwise a straightforward modernization for Apple platforms.
