Four Pictures, Four Edits

If you attached four pictures to a message, the assistant received four pictures and no idea which was which. "Change the second one" was a coin flip. "Do each one" was worse — it usually did one.

Every attached image is now labelled as it goes in — which one of how many — and the editing tool takes the index of the one to work on. "Do each one" runs across all of them and stays on the lane that can actually see the pictures rather than falling through to a model that is working from the sentence alone.

Pictures where the sentence mentions them

When an answer refers to an image it found or made, that image now appears at that point in the answer rather than in a pile underneath it. Anything the answer did not place stays below, which is also now true in the mobile app's chat bubble.

A parallel tool call we were throwing away

One bug worth naming because it looked like somebody else's fault. Gemini can emit several tool calls at once, split across streaming chunks. We were overwriting each chunk with the next instead of accumulating them, which lost part of what the model had sent. The visible symptom was an error that read "Provider 'google' rejected the request" — so it read as the provider being unhappy, when the thing it was unhappy about was ours.

Web search on the phone

Web search had a page on the web and nothing on the phone. It now has a screen in the mobile Tools hub — search, deep research, fetch a URL, your history, and how much of your allowance is left — wired to the same service the web page calls, so the two cannot drift.

The web page was tidied in the same pass. It moved into the assistants menu where the rest of the end-user tools live, its tabs are laid out like every other catalogue screen, results paginate five at a time with a "more results" call that says plainly that it uses one search, and snippets are stripped of the markdown the provider leaves in them and clamped with show more.

Also, in the department of small things that were quietly annoying: the "scroll to latest" pill no longer survives when you switch to another chat.
