Besides Personal Intelligence, Google this week rolled out an “Answer now” button in the Gemini app.
If you’re using the Pro (Gemini 3 Pro) or Thinking (Gemini 3 Flash) models, you’ll see an “Answer now” button next to the spinning status indicator. This does not appear with Fast (Gemini 3 Flash). (Google this week also split the usage limits for Thinking and Pro.)
Tapping will give you a confirmation that Gemini is “Skipping in-depth thinking” and provide your answer shortly after.
According to the three-dot overflow menu at the end of the response, Gemini is using the model you choose to answer the question rather than switching to Fast.
Google told us this week that “Answer now” replaces the “Skip” button. We’re seeing this update rolled out on both free and paid Gemini accounts today on Android, iOS (which might use the old phrase), and the web.
