These widgets allow you to quickly launch a chatbot and perform the required function:
- Type prompt: allows you to write a question or task for the AI
- Talk Live: Opens Gemini Live voice mode
- Open mic: allows you to quickly give a verbal command to set an alarm or schedule a date on your calendar
- Use camera: allows you to quickly take a photo and send it to Gemini
- Share image: allows you to upload an image to create a new one based on it

All of these features will also be available from the Gemini control center on the app's main page.
By the way, in future updates for iPhone, Google promises to add the ability to send text or images to Gemini directly from other apps, improve the interface, and fix bugs. And the Deep Research feature will be available to Gemini Advanced subscribers.
