Google is on a determined mission to make Gemini an indispensable part of our daily routines. With deeper integrations into popular apps like Spotify and the Pixel 9 series shipping with Gemini as the default assistant, it’s clear that Google has ambitious plans for its AI model.

The tech giant has been strategically enhancing Gemini’s functionality with new extensions. After adding extensions for Google apps like Keep, Tasks, and Calendar, along with YouTube and YouTube Music, recent findings suggest even more exciting additions are on the horizon.

An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.

In the Google app version 15.34.32.29.arm64 beta, we could enable the toggles for new Gemini extensions for WhatsApp, Google Messages, and Android system notifications. While they aren’t working just yet, their official descriptions provide a glimpse into what they might offer.

Yes, because they totally are enforing that hare-brained move on the other platforms they own, like on Youtube and sites returned in the search 🙄.

They don't give a singular shit about your politics, or about inclusivity. They care about money. They only care about avoiding bad PR if it gets bad enough to impact their money.

You all keep complaining about this shit, but the most I've seen any of these companies do is toss an incredibly lazy word filter up on posting stuff publicly, and on rare occasions taking manual action after enough reports or against celebrities.
