What is Gemini in the Google Messages App?
Gemini (formerly Google Bard) is an AI chatbot and assistant that is now added to Google Messages, Android‘s default messaging app. The main purpose of integrating Gemini AI into Google Messages is to enhance the messaging experience of users.
Gemini in the Google Messages app lets you talk to Google’s AI assistant to generate text, come up with ideas, and rewrite messages. However, to use Gemini, you need to turn on RCS Chats in your Google Messages settings. This is a completely free feature that gets automatically enabled when you update the Google Messages app.
