There’s a powerful tool in Google’s Gemini Artificial intelligence covers a wide range of tasks: Gemini Live for natural and uninterrupted conversations, Gemini Nano that works without an Internet connection, Gems and Gemini to specialize the assistant (only chatbot) is slowly replacing the traditional Google Assistant.

The latter is integrated into Android at every level, although it still misses some features of the old Google Assistant. Control of our home recently arrived with the Google Home extension, and now we’re ticking off a basic but necessary skill: call and send messages.

Gemini picks up the phone

Gemini has been updating its most “pure” version for months; running in the application of the same name and chatbot (in the style of ChatGPT) as a digital assistant for Android on our mobile phone. But, Features at launch were minimal Compared to what Google Assistant has been doing for years.

One of the missing functions is the ability to call and send messages with just our voice. According to the information provided by Android Police, this functionality is finally starting to appear. Appeared in: 15.48 update of the “Google” application Android is still in beta.

In this regard, Gemini already manages calls and messages and does so more easily. skip the hitherto mandatory step to unlock mobile phone. This feature actually first appeared a few months ago, but back then the screen had to be unlocked to access personal information.

To activate the phone functions on Gemini, we must access the settings inside its application, then “Gemini on lock screen”. There we will see an option titled “Make calls and send messages without unlocking” (the name in Spanish may be different when it is official).

Once this option is enabled correctly, summoning using Gemini will be sufficient. “Hello Google”to make calls as we have done with Google Assistant so far. Moreover, without having to unlock your device even when the screen is off.

For now, the only Gemini mod that can work without unlocking Gemini Live. However, it minimizes its functions as an assistant for questions and problems more than anything else. With the update in question, this situation also ends, Gemini is ready to replace Google Assistant.

While Gemini seems to be following in the footsteps of the old Android assistant, and that’s partly true, it can perform more complex tasks than that. It’s only a matter of time before he keeps adding possibilities; we just have doubts about when Google will decide remove wizard this has been with us for almost a decade.
