Gemini AI

Your Samsung phone will soon update Gemini AI to enable calls and texts without unlocking the lock screen. Google is continuously working to evolve Gemini with new features and improvements, making it a one-stop assistant solution.

Samsung phones have three choices for digital assistant on mobile: Bixby, Google Assistant, and Gemini. Bixby is crafted by Samsung, while the other two options are from Google, and you can use only one of those at a time.

Gemini has taken over Google Assistant, thanks to its AI and Generative AI capabilities. Now with the lock screen functioning support, Gemini AI allows Android and Samsung phone users to make calls and send texts without unlocking.

Google app’s upcoming 15.48 update will deploy the feature on compatible devices. The app’s build is currently in the Beta testing stage. Gemini already supports calls and texts, but the update aims to ditch the requirement of unlocking the phone.

How to enable:

  • Open Gemini and go to the app’s Settings section
  • Now, access the Gemini on lock screen page
  • Next, enter the Outgoing calls and messages section
  • Enable the Make calls and send message without unlocking toggle
    • NOTE: Only works on Google app v15.48.

9to5Google discovered that Gemini would take more time to get the same functionality as Gmail. While phone calls and text messages are enabled on the lock screen, Gmail still requires the phone to be unlocked by the user.
