Google's recent update allows users to access Gemini directly from their Android lock screens, enhancing its utility. While no major new functionalities have been introduced, users now find it easier to get answers, set reminders, and control smart devices without unlocking their phones. The feature requires initial setup, after which users can activate Gemini via voice commands or hardware buttons. The assistant proved effective in handling everyday queries, further streamlining user experience with tasks such as checking store hours or setting reminders.
To start, you might need to enable Gemini on the lock screen. If you previously enabled Google Assistant on your lock screen, you should be fine.
Gemini can handle most of your normal requests. I tried it out by asking what time a local store closed and it responded immediately.
