Gemini's chat search can now sort results by newest first

What changed in Gemini search

Gemini is Google's AI assistant. As jetstream.blog reported, its search for past chats now has a sort option called "Newest." The rollout began in early November 2026.

Until now, results came back in one fixed order, by relevance. That means the chat that best matched your words came first, even if it was months old.

Who can see it today

Not everyone yet. The outlet has confirmed the feature only on the Android version of the app, and only for select Google accounts.

Web and iOS have not been confirmed. The outlet says those versions may still be in a testing phase, so a missing option does not mean something is broken on your end.

The "Oldest" option, which would flip the order the other way, has not appeared either.

Why date order helps

Relevance ranking is good when you remember a keyword. It is less helpful when you want the last conversation on a topic, such as the latest draft of a cover letter or a prompt you refined last week.

Sorting by newest puts recent work at the top, so you can pick up where you stopped.

What to expect next

The same outlet had earlier spotted this "Sort search results" feature while digging through the app's code, so this rollout follows that earlier sighting. Features found that way often arrive in stages, and this one appears to be doing so.

The source says nothing about pricing or a wider release date.
