Android 16: Enhanced App Control & AI Upgrades with Gemini

In Android 16, Gemini could regulate the activities of apps.
Additionally, a new YouTube chat feature has been seen.
There may be upcoming changes to the interface.

The Google Gemini Android app has slowly but surely been picking up more and more of the features and functions of Google Assistant–on top of its generative AI capabilities–and it appears that even more updates are in the pipeline.

First, as reported by Android Authority, new APIs in the developer preview of Android 16 might let Gemini exert more control over what’s going on inside other apps on your device.

App developers’ using these APIs could imbue Gemini with the ability to arrange for takeout dinner or hail a taxi, for instance – this kind of AI agent upgrade is being now discussed as what’s next for these artificial intelligence bots.

Currently, Gemini relies on extensions for interaction with apps such as YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail, Spotify, and WhatsApp. Of course, Google cannot develop these for every single Android app; APIs would help developers do it themselves.

This Android 16 AI agent upgrade isn’t the only Gemini leak we’ve seen this weekend. According to some more code digging by the team over at Android Authority, you might soon be able to dig deeper into YouTube videos using the advanced Gemini Live voice mode.

The concept is that you might be able to have a very organic conversation with Gemini Live about a video you are watching on your phone, in addition to the Ask about this video feature that already exists if explanations or summaries are needed.

Potentially, the interface of Gemini Live has been found changed once more, this time spotted by Android Authority. Insiders into the code hidden in the Android application claim that you’ll soon be able to pause and resume chats from the status bar.

In contrast to other modes of input with Gemini, the virtue of Gemini Live is that one could talk through it like a human- with all the hiccups and waits that may accompany a conversation- and those modifications would render the app AI much more effective.
