Gemini Update: Users Can Now Upload Up to Ten Images Per Prompt
Remember when you could only show Google’s AI buddy, Gemini, one picture at a time? Well, those days are officially over! In a move that feels like Gemini just got a brand new pair of eyes (times ten!), Google has rolled out an update that lets you upload a whole bunch of images, up to ten in a single go. This is hitting everyone, whether you’re glued to your Android, swiping on your iPhone, or chatting away on the web.
Showing Gemini the Bigger Picture
For those of us who’ve tried to give Gemini a better sense of what we’re talking about with more than one image, you know the drill: it was a one-in, one-out situation. You had to swap pictures like you were choosing your favourite Instagram post. But now, it’s like Gemini finally understands that sometimes, one photo just doesn’t cut it. Whether you’re on your Android or iOS phone, the usual way you pick photos from your gallery now lets you select up to ten at once. And the best part? This works with all the Gemini brains currently running, the speedy 2.0 Flash, the slightly more advanced 2.5 Flash, and the super-smart 2.5 Pro.
It gets even cooler if you’re using Gemini’s own camera. Imagine taking a quick snap of something, and then being able to open the camera again to add more context, maybe a close-up detail or the surrounding environment. That’s now a reality! According to the folks at 9to5Google, once you’ve taken a picture, you can jump right back into the viewfinder to add more to your visual story. If it’s not working for you right away, don’t panic! A quick “force stop” and restart of the Gemini app on your phone might just do the trick.
The excitement about this update comes directly from the person leading the Gemini project, Josh Woodward. He shared the news on X, letting everyone know that this handy upgrade is on its way. It feels like Google is really listening to how people want to interact with AI – and letting us show, not just tell.
What This Means for You and Me
Think about it: now, for example, you can show Gemini different angles of that weird gadget you found. Additionally, you can give it a series of photos that tell a story, or even present it with a bunch of related images to get a more insightful answer. In fact, this isn’t just a small tweak; rather, it feels like a real step forward in making AI understand the world the way we do, visually and with context.
