Google is busy adding a ton of changes to Gemini that make it a better assistant, and this next update is a common-sense change. According to the company, Gemini extensions can now be used when the phone is locked.<br \/>\nUntil now, you couldn\u2019t use Gemini if your phone was locked. You wouldn\u2019t think that would be an issue, but it can be. Google really wants Gemini to be more than just a chatbot; it wants Gemini to be a full-fledged agent for you. The company wants it to be Google Assistant on steroids.<br \/>\nHowever, not being able to access Gemini from the lock screen was a bit of a hindrance. It makes sense why Google didn\u2019t allow people to use Gemini while their devices were locked. You don\u2019t want a person to be able to access your apps or features on your phone without unlocking it. However, we\u2019re sure that people will take the risk if it means that their AI agent is more useful.<br \/>\nGoogle lets Gemini extensions work right from your lock screen<br \/>\nOn Monday, Google announced that a locked phone doesn\u2019t stop Gemini from being useful. You can now use Gemini extensions without needing to unlock your phone. So, if you want Gemini to open your favorite Spotify playlist or search for a YouTube video for you, then you can do it without actually being around your phone. You access these right from your lock screen.<br \/>\nHowever, if you don\u2019t like this feature, then don\u2019t worry. Google isn\u2019t making this standard for all users. You\u2019ll need to enable it if you want to use it.<br \/>\nHow to enable this feature<br \/>\nOpen the Gemini app and tap on your avatar in the top right corner of the screen. From there, tap on the\u00a0Settings\u00a0icon and look for the\u00a0Gemini on lock screen button. From there, you can toggle the switch to enable the feature.<br \/>\nHowever, if you previously had Gemini on lock screen or Assistant on lock screen\u00a0enabled previously, then this feature will be enabled by default.<br \/>\nThe post A simple common-sense update just made Gemini so much better appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Gemini-Ask-about-screen-phone.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, it\u2019s the little updates and changes that make using an app or service much better.
