The first preview for developers was released a few weeks ago to anticipate the launch of the final version of Android 16, which will mainly be characterized by giving access to Gemini so that it can perform a bunch of tasks as if it were a real assistant. The list of all the functions of the application that Google AI will be able to use has now been discovered.
