Google brings Gemini\u2019s \u2018Extended\u2019 thinking to everyone, no subscription needed is attracting attention across the tech world. Analysts, enthusiasts, and industry observers are watching closely to see how this story develops.<\/p>\n

This update adds another signal to a fast-moving sector where product decisions, platform changes, and competition can quickly shape the market.<\/p>\n

Gemini has been going through a lot of changes, whether that\u2019s a new UI with spirited animation or a new theming platform that matches Gemini\u2019s colors to your Android phone\u2019s wallpapers. On top of that, Google\u2019s new Gemini 3.5 models bring efficiency-related upgrades, while its Spark agent is ready for you to offload your mundane tasks that can be worked on in the background. Along with these, Gemini is getting additional controls that let you change how deeply it thinks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Right around Google I\/O 2026, we started seeing the initial rollout for different \u201cThinking\u201d levels in Gemini. These come in two options: Standard and Extended. The latter, as you would expect, lets Gemini think more deeply and for longer before responding to your queries, along with step-by-step reasoning. While at the time of our previous reporting, the feature was only available for a few of our teammates, it\u2019s now available more widely.<\/p>\n

Josh Woodward, VP of Gemini at Google, recently announced in an X post that Thinking levels are now available to users across multiple platforms. That includes the web interface, as well as the mobile interfaces on Android and iOS.<\/p>\n

You can choose the Thinking level by heading over to the model settings in Gemini. The \u201cStandard\u201d and \u201cExtended\u201d thinking options are available across Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-light, and are available to both free and paying users.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gemini 3.1 Pro also gets a \u201cDeep think\u201d option in addition to the two others, as per the video shared by Woodward, though it is limited to AI Ultra users only.<\/p>\n

While extended thinking can be expected to offer more profound analyses and better responses (even though it\u2019s not guaranteed), you should be mindful that it\u2019s likely to burn through your usage limits faster. Google has been under fire recently for implementing a new credit platform that uses tokens based on the complexity of the prompt, so you end up tokenmaxxing, even if you don\u2019t intend to. Although the giant has been working to plug these gaps, you\u2019re better off with the standard thinking setting for low-impact queries or searches that don\u2019t require Gemini to think thoroughly before answering.<\/p>\n
