Google<\/strong>\u2019s AI<\/strong> tool, Nano Banana<\/strong>, is coming to the Messages<\/strong> app. Here are all the details about this new feature that will offer the ability to edit images and create fun memes<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google<\/strong>\u2019s AI-powered image generation tool<\/strong>, Nano Banana<\/strong>, may soon be integrated into the Messages<\/strong> app. Code discovered by Android Police and a hidden banana icon<\/strong> suggest that users will be able to edit and create images directly within chats using Nano Banana<\/strong> (part of Gemini 2.5 Flash<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Banana Icon<\/strong> is Currently Passive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The banana icon<\/strong>, which appears when you long-press on an image in a message, is not active right now. However, as Google<\/strong> continues to roll out Nano Banana<\/strong> across its applications, the icon is expected to become usable shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nano Banana<\/strong>‘s Role: Editing<\/strong> is in the Foreground<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nano Banana<\/strong> is currently available in Search<\/strong> via NotebookLM<\/strong> and Google Lens<\/strong>. Plans for Google Photos<\/strong> have already been announced. Its likely arrival in the Messages<\/strong> app signals that Nano Banana<\/strong> will be carried over to other platforms as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The location of the passive icon in Messages<\/strong> is noteworthy: it is located in the toolbar of a long-pressed image. This suggests that the focus will be on editing existing images<\/strong> rather than generating new ones. Operations such as filters, image cleanup, or humorous touches can be easily performed via menus or request options with Nano Banana<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you could long-press your blurry food photo, tap the banana icon<\/strong>, and ask for a “mouth-watering food blog style shot,” or you could create a version of your friend’s awkward selfie where a T-Rex photobombed<\/strong> the shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Meme Time<\/strong> in Messages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Google<\/strong> wants to spread Nano Banana<\/strong> and its other AI tools<\/strong> to every platform. They have announced that over 5 billion images<\/strong> have been created with Nano Banana<\/strong> so far. The already large user base of Google Messages<\/strong> could quickly make Nano Banana<\/strong> the most widely used AI image tool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the competition is also intense. Meta AI<\/strong> encourages image generation on WhatsApp<\/strong> and Messenger<\/strong>; Apple<\/strong> offers custom emoji<\/strong> and image generation for iMessage<\/strong>. Snapchat<\/strong>, on the other hand, has placed AI-based visual tools<\/strong> at the center of its product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not yet clear when Nano Banana<\/strong> will come to Messages<\/strong>, but while you wait, you can try out the new Nano Banana-powered camera tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
