Google Gemini Now Accessible from iPhone Lock Screen

Google Gemini introduces a new feature allowing iPhone users to interact with the AI chatbot directly from their lock screen, enhancing accessibility and convenience.

Guess what? Google just dropped a cool update for iPhone folks—now you can chat with the Gemini AI right from your lock screen. No need to fumble with your passcode. Thanks to a nifty widget spotted by 9to5Google, Gemini Live (that’s Google’s voice chat thing) is just a tap away. Pretty slick, huh?

And here’s the kicker: while Apple’s playing the long game with Siri’s big AI makeover (2027, really?), rivals like Google are jumping in to keep things interesting. Sure, Apple’s version might mesh better with your iPhone eventually, but for now, this gives you a taste of what LLMs and voice assistants can do.

But wait, there’s more. The Gemini app isn’t just about chatting—it’s got widgets for snapping pics, setting reminders, or even planning your week. And for Android users, Google’s teasing a feature where Gemini can answer questions about videos or what’s on your screen. Fancy, right? Though, for now, that’s a perk for the Gemini Advanced crowd.
