tomsguide.com

A recent APK teardown has revealed new features in Android 16 that could enhance Google Gemini's functionality. The update may allow Gemini to interact with various apps, including the camera, browser, calendar, and maps, improving its role as a central hub on devices. Previously, Gemini's capabilities were limited, but the new extensions could enable it to set reminders, capture images, create events, and find locations. This marks a significant shift in how users may interact with the AI on their phones. The release of Gemini Live for Android users further enhances the AI's conversational abilities. Meanwhile, Apple is still working on its own AI features, which may not yet match the versatility of the upcoming Android 16 enhancements.
