Last month, Google announced that it would offer Gemini in the beta version of Google Messages starting from the last week of February. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Now, almost a month later, Gemini is finally here on the messaging platform.
According to a new report from 9To5Google, the latest beta version of Google Messages offers Gemini. To access the chatbot, click on the button to start a new chat, and the app will show you the option to interact with Gemini right before the contacts list starts. Tap on it and Google Messages will open the chat with the chatbot. You can then interact with Gemini as you would in the chatbot’s app or web portal. In Google’s words, you can “draft messages, brainstorm ideas, plan events, or simply have a fun conversation.”
To access the latest feature, you will need to have a personal Google account, have the language set to English, be in one of the 165 countries, and have a Pixel 6 or newer device from Google, Pixel Fold, Samsung Galaxy S22, or a newer device from Samsung, or Galaxy Z Fold or Galaxy Z Flip series device.
