For many who missed it, Google added its Gemini AI to Messages earlier within the 12 months as a approach for folks to talk with an AI bot to “draft messages, brainstorm concepts, plan occasions or [to] merely have a enjoyable dialog.” Perhaps I’m alone on this, but when I wish to speak to Gemini, I’ll fireplace up the Gemini app, not open up Google Messages, the place I’m having conversations with actual folks.
That stated, when energetic in Google Messages, you’ll see a Gemini bubble that lives above your “Begin chat” bubble. It’s this shortcut that can allow you to “chat” with Gemini and do issues like make photos of Pokemon consuming burgers or asking when you may ship RCS messages to an iPhone.
And for these of you who need no a part of this (like me), there’s a simple approach to flip it off and rid your Google Messages expertise of Gemini. As a result of, once more, Gemini has its personal app (and swipe gesture) to activate at any time with out the necessity for particular entry in Messages too.
