In a rather prominent push, the “Start chat” floating action button now has a smaller Gemini FAB just above it. When you’re dealing with the rectangle, the square looks misaligned. Everything is visually correct upon scrolling.
Google unfortunately locks down the RCS api's in Android so that only the system messaging app (basically just Google Messages these days) can use them, so I don't think any independent messaging apps can integrate RCS at all :/
Been using Samsung messages for years, not Google messages, but I just wanna comment.
I'm OK with it. It's been an ai race. It's natural that Google is taking advantage of the millions of Android phones and of the fact that many are using Google messages and Gmail. Adding Gemini to Google messages is sensible to me. I just hope it won't be annoying.
Gmail has been my main email but I didn't see Gemini in it. Maybe in the future?
