Google’s AI image creator, Nano Banana, is generating excitement as it broadens its presence across multiple applications. Recent leaks indicate that Google Messages could be the next platform to adopt this groundbreaking technology. A source has revealed that the AI image creator was found within the app’s code, suggesting a possible feature that enables users to create images by long-pressing a picture in a chat. While the feature is not currently live, the existence of a Nano Banana icon in the app’s navigation bar points to Google’s active testing of this capability.
Nano Banana has already been rolled out to other Google services such as NotebookLM, Google Lens, and Google Photos. In NotebookLM, users can produce images in various styles such as Watercolor, Anime, and Retro Print to enhance their study resources. Google Lens users can now modify photos instantly using the “Create” button powered by Nano Banana. Likewise, Google Photos is poised to provide quick editing features with this AI tool soon.
The popularity of Nano Banana is clear, as it allegedly attracted 10 million new users to the Gemini app shortly after its debut. With over 200 million images generated, the AI’s skill in turning individuals into figurines has become a notable feature. As Google continues to incorporate Nano Banana into additional applications, its impact in the realm of AI image generation is anticipated to expand even more.
