Washington [USA], Google has begun rolling out an interesting 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 initial introduction of Gemini AI on other platforms such as Gmail, according to GSM Arena.
The Gemini AI integration aims to optimize the user experience by providing quick access to artificial intelligence capabilities without leaving the Messages app.
Users will notice a new floating action button located above the “Start Chat” button in the bottom right corner of the interface, making it easier to access the AI service.
Although 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 within 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, leading users to be careful when sharing sensitive information.
Google also offers options for users to manage their chat history with Gemini, allowing you to customize storage from the default setting of 18 months up to 36 months or as little as 3 months.
Regarding privacy issues, Gemini AI does not track user 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 capabilities and optimized interactions within the Messages app.
