Gemini Live is going multilingual in this March Pixel Drop! The Pixel smartphone assistant now understands over 45 languages, without having to select them first. Just talk to Gemini and it should sort itself out. The multimodal features announced in January are now available on the Pixel 6 and later — they were limited to the Pixel 9 until present.
The real-time video search feature unveiled earlier this week will be coming to Gemini Advanced subscribers in the coming weeks.
Screenshot fans (we all are!) will benefit from a feature that will suggest screenshots to add to collections in the Pixel Screenshots app. This can be useful for quickly finding an invoice, receipts, etc. The Studio app, which runs on Gemini's generative AI, can now generate images of people, in addition to buildings or objects.
The Scam Detection feature, announced last November, is now available. Thanks to the Gemini Nano model, which only works locally, the smartphone can detect suspicious behavior during phone calls. And warn the user in case of suspected fraud.
The function, also present in the Messages application, promises to be very useful but it is only offered on the Pixel 9, in English, in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
The Satellite SOS function which allows you to call emergencies via satellite, is opening in Europe! It's free for two years, but only on the Pixel 9.
Among the many other new features in this monthly delivery, we should also mention:
- The Find My Device function lets you share your location in real time with your loved ones;
