Google is phasing out Assistant for Gemini, and we've spotted changes coming to Android Auto signaling the imminent.
S amsung Galaxy Unpacked's many new products and features have not left out AI examples. Plenty involved Google and its Gemini family of AI models, with a host of new features coming to Android devices with the new Android 16 and Wear OS 6 systems. Here are some of the ones to be the most excited for.
Ahead of Gemini's car debut in the near future, Google has removed some mentions of Assistant in the latest Android Auto 14.8 update.
Starting today, Google is implementing a change that will enable its Gemini AI engine to interact with third-party apps, such as WhatsApp, even when users previously configured their devices to block such interactions. Users who don't want their previous settings to be overridden may have to take action.
Google is adding new AI features to Android’s Circle to Search and Gemini Live tools. The update was announced today, alongside the launch of the next-generation Galaxy foldables, and it includes new Gemini Live capabilities for Samsung devices and integrates Google’s search-centric AI Mode chatbot right into Circle to Search.
Google made Veo 3 available for free to Pixel 9 Pro, added Gemini support to Pixel Watches, and brought gaming support to Circle to Search.
Following Android and iOS last week, the new Gemini logo is now available on the web.
Google's Veo 3 is the best video generation tool on the market, outshining even OpenAI's Sora at the time of writing. Now, with this added functionality that allows users to turn their photo memories into videos, Veo 3 is better than ever before.
