Google is reportedly enhancing the capabilities of its Gemini AI assistant on Android phones. According to a report by 9To5Google, the Gemini assistant will soon enable users to make calls and send messages even when their smartphones are locked.

The update, which is included in the latest beta version of the Google app, introduces a new option titled “Make calls and send messages without unlocking” in the Gemini on Lock Screen settings. When activated, this feature will allow users to request the Gemini assistant to place a phone call or send a message without unlocking the device.
