Gemini AI is deployed in Google Messages, Telecom News, ET Telecom


Google has started rolling out an exciting update to its Messages app, integrating Gemini AI to improve functionality and user interaction directly within chats.

This development follows Google’s recent announcement and the initial introduction of Gemini AI on other platforms like Gmail, according to GSM Arena.

The integration of Gemini AI aims to streamline the user experience by providing quick access to artificial intelligence capabilities without leaving the Messages app.

Users will notice a new floating action button positioned above the “Start Chat” button in the bottom right corner of the interface, making it easier to access the AI ​​service.

While the feature is not currently widely available, Google assures users that Gemini AI works similarly to its standalone counterpart on Android devices, according to GSM Arena.

This integration allows users to seamlessly ask questions, receive information, or issue commands while continuing their conversations in Messages.

It is important to note that Gemini AI respects user privacy by not scanning private conversations.

However, interactions with the AI ​​chatbot are not end-to-end encrypted, prompting users to exercise caution when sharing sensitive information.

Google also offers users options to manage their chat history with Gemini, allowing storage customization from the default settings of 18 months to 36 months or as little as 3 months.

Regarding privacy concerns, Gemini AI does not track users’ location beyond general details derived from IP addresses or home addresses to provide relevant information.

As the update continues to roll out, users can expect improved features and simplified interactions within the Messages app.
