Using Gemini Can Be Really Helpful

Provided that it’s available on your phone, using Gemini in Google Messages can come in really handy. It’s essentially no different than using the standalone Gemini app from the Play Store. However, by making it accessible within the Messages app, you can treat Google Gemini just like any other text conversation.

Gemini can help you figure out what to make for dinner, create plans for an upcoming trip, and even answer questions about a picture you took. Best of all, it’s completely free to use, as this new functionality isn’t hidden behind a paywall like Gemini Advanced.

Who Can Use Gemini in Google Messages?

  • An Android device with 6GB of RAM or higher.
  • Your phone’s language set to a supported language.
  • A personal Google Account that you manage on your own.
  • Be 18 or over.
  • RCS chats turned on.

Although there’s no specific mention of being limited to certain brands of devices, there does seem to be some gate-keeping afoot or perhaps just a slow rollout amid relaxed requirements. At the time of this writing, Gemini in Google Messages appears on our Pixel phones, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and even the Nothing Phone 2. However, it doesn’t seem to be available on other phones that meet the requirements, such as the OnePlus Open or the new Razr Plus 2024. Still, we expect this will likely change in the coming weeks or months, likely via a server-side update.

AI, but Make It Affordable

The Google Pixel 8a is the latest phone from Google, featuring a flagship-like design, a top-tier processor, and impressive cameras, all for a surprisingly affordable price. You also get access to many of the latest AI features from Google, powered by Gemini.
