- Google is working on a new Clock tool extension for Gemini that will let it set alarms and timers without relying on the Assistant.
- Gemini could soon gain new lock screen functionality as well, allowing users to perform various functions without unlocking their devices.
- A new background mode is also in the works, which will let users continue Gemini chats while using another app or on the lock screen.
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 addition, Google is also working on new lock screen functionality for Gemini, which will let you perform various functions when your device is locked. 9to5Google recently spotted the upcoming feature in the same Google app beta release and revealed that it would allow Gemini to reply to messages, find music, control smart home devices, and more from the lock screen.
Along with the Clock tool extension and improved lock screen functionality, 9to5Google reports that Gemini could also get a new background mode soon. Called Gemini Live, this mode will run in the background and let users continue Gemini chats while using other apps or when the screen is locked.
Gemini Live could prove to be a handy addition. It would allow users to easily get contextual information from Gemini while using an app or vice versa. Users will reportedly be able to end the background mode using a voice command or through a persistent notification.
