The previous few days have been dominated by Google’s launch of the Gemini app, which we now know is steadily showing outdoors the US. Provided that the brand new chatbot continues to be pretty new for cell, there are sure to be some options that do not perform as anticipated, to not point out bugs that might break performance. It looks as if Google is conscious of those glitches and is doing what is important to repair them primarily based on consumer suggestions.
Google Gemini product lead Jack Krawczyk supplied a abstract of the suggestions obtained from customers till Friday. Expectedly listed below issues Google plans to repair ASAP is the power to handle duties, set reminders, and many others, which is one side that makes switching from Google Assistant to Gemini a little bit of a priority for individuals in the intervening time.
Curiously, Google seems to have solved a minimum of a few these points talked about below issues to repair, as we are able to already discover the Gemini cell app functioning usually in some areas outdoors the US. Krawczyk said final week that the app would turn into extensively accessible in Asia-Pacific, Africa, Latin America, and North America starting Monday, February 12.

Not every part has been unhealthy with the early implementation of Gemini, although, as Krawczyk notes within the tweet. As an illustration, individuals have seemingly lauded the chatbot’s inventive capabilities, together with its writing model, and response velocity. Within the meantime, Google seems to have fastened one other concern since releasing the app within the US, as Android knowledgeable and AP contributor Mishaal Rahman notes on X. In its unique kind, triggering Gemini utilizing the facility button or the swipe-up gesture did not assist auto-sending queries, however an replace pushed over the weekend seems to have remedied that.
One side I’ve personally loved in my transient expertise utilizing Gemini on my 18-month-old Pixel 6a is the power to generate pictures with a easy textual content or voice command. It is fairly unimaginable to me that this midrange telephone can do that so effortlessly, though it understandably takes a number of seconds to generate footage. Krawczyk mentioned the workforce has additionally obtained complaints relating to preachy guardrails, which might be improved in subsequent updates.
The fundamental facets of Google Gemini are accessible without spending a dime, however there’s an Superior model accessible below the brand new Google One AI Premium Plan for $20/month, with a 2-month free trial presently accessible. However as we discovered simply earlier than the weekend, entry to Gemini Superior can’t be shared with household group members, that means these individuals will want a separate subscription to entry this extra highly effective model of Gemini. Since these phrases are clearly specified on Google’s assist web page, we do not anticipate the corporate to reverse course.
