Google Gemini Expands Lock Screen Capabilities on Android

Users can now ask general questions and receive answers without unlocking their devices, enhancing hands-free functionality.

Gemini can now answer non-personal questions like weather updates and trivia directly from the lock screen.
The feature aims to make accessing information more convenient, especially while driving or multitasking.
Users concerned about privacy can disable this feature through the Gemini settings menu.
Future updates may include extensions for Google Maps, Flights, Hotels, and YouTube on the lock screen.
The update is part of Google's strategy to integrate Gemini more deeply into everyday tasks and compete with other digital assistants.
