You can now hide the large Gemini AI bar that appears at the bottom of Google Docs.

Some users have seen a big Gemini bar pop up in Google Docs, which can be distracting. This update lets you easily turn off that bar and other AI features in Docs and Gmail if you prefer a cleaner workspace.

Google Docs, for example, is rolling out a giant Gemini bar at the bottom of the screen for some users.

If you're one of the users who sees this feature and you don’t want it on your screen, good news: The giant bar is easy enough to hide.
