Google app is getting this ‘Big’ Gemini update on Android

Google is expanding access to its artificial intelligence (AI) tools across Android by rolling out a direct “Ask Gemini” shortcut directly inside the system-level text selection menu. While Android users could previously send highlighted text to the generative assistant through the standard Share menu, the newly introduced shortcut reduces the workflow to a quick interaction in a single tap. Smartphone users can already launch Gemini on most modern Android hardware by holding down the physical power button, and Google has steadily introduced AI integrations across services like Chrome for Android.

Following an initial development discovery spotted in March of last year, the highlighted text feature is now actively rolling out. One of those is ‘Automated Text Transfer’.
