Google has enhanced its Gemini feature on the Android lock screen, allowing users to ask general questions without unlocking their device. Previously, Gemini’s functionality was limited to controlling alarms, timers, media, and some phone features via Google Assistant. Users had to unlock their phones to ask simple questions like “what’s the weather.” Now, Gemini provides answers directly on the lock screen with the same UI and audible responses. A new “Gemini on lock screen” setting enables this feature, complementing the existing Google Assistant lock screen option. This update promises a more integrated and seamless hands-free experience.
