Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, is getting a new feature aimed at making calls and texts easier to manage. You’ll soon be able to make a call or send a text without unlocking your phone, thanks to the AI feature.
You can toggle this setting by navigating to “Gemini Settings > Gemini on Lock Screen” then flipping on the “Make calls and send message without unlocking” feature, 9to5Google noted. The outlet reported that the feature was not yet widely available but was rolling out to some users.
The update is a part of the latest update to the Google app and is seemingly aimed at making it easier to do daily tasks without the rigamarole of unlocking your phone. If privacy were, perhaps, a concern for you, then you could choose not to turn this setting on.

Google has been working to upgrade Gemini and feature it throughout its products. The company, for instance, is reportedly working on a feature that would allow users to converse with the AI about files, recordings, and images. That means you could, in theory, ask the Gemini AI to find a certain photo or document on your device you can’t seem to locate.
Clearly Gemini is a priority for the tech giant. So much so that you might find Gemini already active inside your brand new laptop.
