Google is redefining convenience with its latest Gemini extensions, rolling out enhanced features for Messages, Phone, and WhatsApp. These updates empower users to send messages, make calls, and more—all without opening individual apps. Initially introduced in October, this broader rollout integrates Gemini’s AI into daily communication and entertainment tasks seamlessly.
Key Features of Google Gemini Extensions
- Enhanced Calling and Messaging:
- Phone Integration: With the Phone extension, Gemini can use your device’s dialer to call contacts, businesses, or numbers directly.
- Messaging Simplified: The Messages extension enables Gemini to send messages, compose drafts, and even help you edit them—all via your default messaging app.
- WhatsApp Compatibility: For WhatsApp actions, users can prompt Gemini with specific commands. For example:
- “Call [Contact Name] on WhatsApp.”
- “Send a WhatsApp message to [Contact Name].”
- Spotify and YouTube Music Integration:
Google has also introduced a Spotify extension, letting users play and search for music directly via Gemini. Just ask for specific songs, albums, playlists, or artists, and the assistant will handle the rest. A similar feature is available for YouTube Music, giving music lovers more ways to enjoy their favorite tunes.
