Google’s ‘Nano Banana’ AI image tool coming to Google Messages soon

While the icon currently has no function, its presence indicates that AI-based image generation and editing capabilities are likely to arrive in Google Messages soon.

Nano Banana’s Growing Reach

The image tool has already been added to several Google products, including Google Search’s AI Mode and NotebookLM, and is also being developed for integration into Google Photos and Google Lens.

Nano Banana functions like most AI image tools: users provide a text prompt or an image, and the tool processes the request to generate or edit the resulting image. It has been noted for its ability to maintain consistency and likeness in generated or edited images.

The ongoing integration suggests Google is committed to making its AI image capabilities a core feature across its entire platform. As development progresses, users can expect to see image editing and generation directly within the Google Messages app.

Users can use Google Lens to create images from nano banana with emojis, and can download and share the edited images. The feature is now available in 35 new languages and 40 new countries and territories. Google also introduced a new ‘Homework’ filter within Google Lens, allowing users to ask questions using video. Additionally, Nano Banana is available for use on WhatsApp via Perplexity’s bot, transforming images using AI.
