By analyzing the application files from the Android “Google” app v17.9.50 update, released on Monday, March 9, 2026, we have confirmed the addition of descriptions (XML tags) related to the mysterious feature codenamed “Wasabi.”
<string name="assistant_chat_input_data_attachment_replace_wasabi_title">Replace current wasabi?</string>This string indicates a confirmation message: “Replace current wasabi?” which suggests it is used when replacing or overwriting the existing “Wasabi” content with something new. Furthermore, because the string “chat_input_data_attachment” is included in the code, it can be inferred that this is a new feature allowing users to attach a specific type of data—similar to photos or files—within the Gemini chat input field.
However, given the use of the specific codename “Wasabi,” it is possible that this is not just a generic file like an image, but a special type of data with unique formats or capabilities. Could “codename: Wasabi” be something that surprises users? We look forward to future developments.
