Google Gemini Enhances Android Functionality with New Utilities Extension

The update restores key features from Google Assistant, offering expanded control over smartphone tasks.

The Gemini Utilities Extension allows users to manage alarms, timers, and media playback directly from their Android devices.
Users can perform multiple actions with a single voice command, such as adjusting volume and enabling battery saver mode.
The extension supports lock-screen functions, including flashlight control, Bluetooth toggling, and checking battery levels.
Currently, the extension is available only in English and requires Gemini to be set as the default assistant on Android devices.
Google is gradually rolling out the update, and it may take some time before it is available to all Android users.
