Google is enhancing its Messages app by integrating Gemini AI, offering users quick access to AI features directly within chats. This follows its introduction on platforms like Gmail. A new floating action button above the “Start chat” button makes accessing AI easy. Though not yet widely available, Gemini AI allows users to ask questions, get information, and issue commands seamlessly. While private conversations aren’t scanned, interactions with the AI aren’t end-to-end encrypted. Users can manage chat history settings, and Gemini AI only uses general location data for relevant information.
