Gemini on Android is now a lot smarter on the lock screen

Despite being unfinished, Google pushed Android users to replace Google Assistant with Gemini on their phones last year. Besides not being as capable as its predecessor, Gemini had another major drawback — it required you to unlock your phone to execute any actions. More than a year later, Gemini has improved significantly, thanks to various extensions boosting its capabilities. Now, Google is tackling another major Gemini limitation by making its extensions available on the lock screen, enabling it to respond to most commands even when your phone is locked.
