Google has announced a series of Android and app updates ahead of MWC, including a new feature that lets you chat with its own chatbot Gemini: right from Google Messages. You can start chatting with Gemini as soon as you update the Messages app this week, but you’ll need to join Google’s beta testing program first.
There’s no need for a Google One subscription for this version, unlike Gemini Advanced which offers more capabilities but requires a subscription. While Gemini is reported to be a bit of a disappointing chat partner, integrating the chatbot into your messaging app might make it seem more friendly. Gemini in Messages is currently only in English and in select markets.
