FULL STORY
======================================================================

If youre on Android and starting to feel a bit jealous of all the Apple 
Intelligence hype then you should know that Google Gemini is making its way 
to more Android phones via the Google Messages app. 

Using a compatible device youll be able to talk with Gemini, and use it just 
like you would any other chatbot like ChatGPT . You can draft messages, 
brainstorm plans, and ask questions about anything and everything  all from 
within your messages app. 

Previously, Google Geminis Messages assistance was limited to a select few 
smartphones. Namely Google Pixel 6 , Pixel 7 , and Pixel 8 phones, or Samsung 
Galaxy S22 and later devices  including Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold 
models. 

These restrictions have now been scaled back to include any Android device 
running the latest version of Google Messages provided the phone has at least 
6GB of RAM, and RCS messages are turned on. A few more hoops to jump through

Youll also need to meet a few extra criteria that go beyond regular phone 
specs. You have to log into Messages using a personal account that isnt 
managed by Family Link or a Google Workspace account; you need to be 18 or 
older, and be living in a country where the feature is available . Last but 
not least, your phones language must be set to English  though in Canada 
French will also work. 

With all those hoops jumped through youll be able to enjoy Geminis assistance 
from within Messages. 

To talk to Gemini simply press the Start Chat button and you should then see 
the option to talk to the bot at the top of the screen. If youve already 
started a Messages conversation with Gemini you pick things up where you left 
off from that message chain. 

Just note that, as the app warns you your RCS chats with Gemini are not 
encrypted, and  as is the case for all AI  you may be sent back inaccurate 
information. You might also like Google Geminis new bank-scam detection for 
phone calls isnt as creepy as it sounds Your iPhone 15 cant run Apple
