You don’t need to unlock your phone to send a quick text or WhatsApp or to make a phone call. This feature isn’t switched on by default, so to make sure you can use it, go to the Gemini on the lock screen section of Gemini’s settings and toggle on Make calls and send messages without unlocking.

Both Google Gemini and Google Assistant are forms of AI, but the former is the newer form of generative AI. So what makes them different?

Explore Google Gemini Code Assist, a free alternative to paid tools like GitHub Copilot, with powerful AI features for smarter coding.

You can create custom Gemini Gems using the Gemini web app, but you'll need to upgrade your personal Google Accounts to Gemini Advanced. Contact your Google Workspace administrator to set up Gemini Advanced for work or school accounts.

Gemini's free version is now offering a new "Saved Info" feature, previously available to Advanced subscribers. It can store key details, making interactions more personalized and efficient. Google's Gemini AI chatbot might be one of the best ones you can use if you're not willing to pay for a chatbot.
