Gemini brings changes to Pixel Buds: a breakdown
Gemini’s New Notification System
Google’s latest AI model, Gemini, is bringing some changes to the Pixel Buds. One of the biggest is the way notifications are handled. While you can still get notifications read aloud, Gemini is now focused on messaging apps only. This means you won’t hear notifications from apps like Calendar or Gmail.
Google says they’re working on improving the notification experience, but for now, this might be a bit of a downgrade for many users.
Other Changes
- Gemini Activation: Saying “Hey Google” will now always turn on your phone’s screen.
- Google Home App: The Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Watch 3 will no longer appear in the Google Home app. You’ll need to use the Find My Device app to locate them.
In Summary
Gemini is bringing some exciting new features to the Pixel Buds, but it’s also making some changes that might not be everyone’s favorite. If you’re a Pixel Buds user, it’s worth keeping an eye on these changes and seeing how they impact your experience.
