quick_read: On 2026-08-14, reporting described a new control in Google's Gemini app that lets users turn off visible watermarks on outputs from Nano Banana for images, Omni for videos, and Lyria for music, with the rollout still restricted in certain countries.

Removing visible watermarks matters because it changes how audiences can identify AI-generated visual art and music and how creators assert provenance, raising questions about misuse, attribution, and whether invisible watermarking or other safeguards remain when the visible mark is disabled.
limitation: 
tag: Evidence-backed gain
key_points: Gemini app introduced a user-controlled toggle for visible watermarks. | Toggle applies to three generative formats: Nano Banana images, Omni videos, and Lyria music. | Availability is not universal and remains limited by country.
rundown: The update was reported on 2026-08-14 as a change inside the Gemini app, specifically covering visible watermarks rather than invisible markers.

The text notes the toggle covers three named model outputs and that geographic restrictions still apply, indicating uneven access at launch.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0763 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
