Even Google Messages could get Nano Banana

Google seems to be dead-set on adding Nano Banana — aka its Gemini 2.5 Flash Image-powered AI tool — into nearly all of its products.

Android Authority reported that it discovered a version of Google Messages that "includes code that points to the introduction of Nano Banana functionality in the messaging app." The tech-focused site wrote that it found a banana icon in Google Messages that did not yet do anything. But given the finding, it doesn't seem like a stretch that Nano Banana would soon be integrated into Google Messages.

To wit, the AI image tool has already been added to many of Google's products, including Google Search, NotebookLM, and, soon enough, Photos. Nano Banana functions like most other AI image tools — you deliver a text prompt, perhaps upload an image, and it spits out results. Folks have been especially impressed with its ability to edit or work with photos.
