"A new feature in the Gemini app will let users hand off multi-step tasks, like ordering a rideshare or building a grocery cart. The feature, which will first arrive in beta, runs in the background while users perform other tasks. Gemini's progress can be monitored live via notifications, so users can see what it's doing and jump in at any time."
"Android is also getting an upgrade for Circle to Search, enabling it to search for multiple objects seen on screen at once. One implementation of this is full-outfit searches using "find the look." Once the app has found all the individual pieces of the circled outfit, users can try them on virtually."
"The company is also using Gemini to bring on-device Scam Detection for calls to Samsung's Phone app. The tool alerts users if someone on their call is using speech patterns commonly heard from scammers. Google says the feature is never used while on a call with someone in your contacts and is off by default."
Google unveiled new Android updates featuring Gemini integration and advanced scam detection capabilities. A new Gemini feature enables users to delegate multi-step tasks like ordering rideshares or building grocery carts, which run in the background with live progress monitoring. Circle to Search now supports searching multiple objects simultaneously, including full-outfit searches with virtual try-on capabilities. Google implemented on-device Scam Detection using Gemini technology to identify speech patterns associated with scammers in phone calls and messages. The scam detection feature operates by default off and never activates during calls with contacts. These features are available on Pixel 10 and Galaxy S26 devices, with varying availability across markets.
