With this, users will be able to make outgoing calls and send SMS from the messaging app without having to unlock their devices.

The settings page of the Gemini app also shared additional details about the feature. Google stated, “You'll need to turn on your calling and messaging apps in Gemini for these features to work.” To quickly turn these on, users can click the highlighted text to directly go to the settings.

Once activated, users will be able to voice activate Gemini on the lock screen and then either add a verbal or typed command to make a call or send a message. At present, this prompts users to unlock their device, but with the setting turned on, the AI assistant will directly make the call or send the message saving users a few extra clicks.
