Google Gemini on smartphones: WhatsApp, notifications and messages management coming soon

Gemini AI is about to take another leap forward in the smartphone world , as upcoming features could really be a small revolution. Recent discoveries in Google app code by AndroidAuthority suggest that the Gemini AI assistant could soon take on a much more central role in managing our daily tasks on Android devices.

A deep dive into the Google app beta version 15.34.32.29.arm64 revealed three new extensions for Gemini: WhatsApp, Notifications, and Messages . While these features aren’t live yet, their descriptions offer an intriguing glimpse into the future of human-smartphone interaction.

The WhatsApp extension, in particular, could prove to be a real game-changer. Imagine being able to send messages, read them, and even make WhatsApp calls, all through simple voice commands to Gemini . This feature could make using the messaging app more accessible and convenient, especially in situations where manually interacting with the phone isn’t practical or safe. The Messages extension seems to follow a similar line, allowing messages to be read and replied to through the Google Messages app.

But it’s the Notifications extension that offers perhaps the most interesting prospects . Think of Gemini summarizing notifications you received while you were away, categorizing them by importance, or even taking actions based on specific notifications. “Hey Gemini, let me know if I get an important notification while I’m in a meeting ,” could become a common phrase in our near future.

Of course, it’s important to note that these features are still in development . An “APK teardown” — an analysis of an application’s code — can reveal features that are in the works, but it doesn’t guarantee that they’ll actually make it into a public release of the app.

The integration of these new capabilities into Gemini is part of a broader strategy by Google, which has already added extensions for other proprietary apps such as Keep, Tasks, Calendar, YouTube, and YouTube Music . It is clear that the Mountain View company is aiming to create an increasingly complete and integrated AI ecosystem.

For many longtime smartphone users, the idea of ​​delegating so many functions to an AI assistant might seem excessive, but for more tech-addicted users or those looking for a more seamless, less manual experience, these innovations could represent a significant step forward.
