Google’s Gemini AI could soon make texting more exciting by adding support for sending pictures through Google Messages, thanks to a feature called RCS. Right now, Gemini can only send text messages using Google Messages, and if you try to send an image, it just sends a blank link because it doesn’t support MMS yet.

But new clues found in the latest Google app update (version 16.25.44) suggest this might change soon. The update shows code that checks if a device supports RCS, which could let Gemini send images and other media directly through Google Messages.

RCS is a modern texting system that allows sharper photos, videos, and fun features like reactions, unlike old-school SMS. If both the sender and receiver have RCS, Gemini could send high-quality images without any hassle. If RCS isn’t available, it would switch back to regular SMS.

This upgrade would make Gemini more useful, letting you create and share AI-made images or even send files like PDFs straight from Google Messages. For example, you could ask Gemini to send a photo from your gallery to a friend, and it would attach the actual image, not just a link.

While Google hasn’t officially announced this feature, the code hints it’s in progress. Stay tuned for updates, as this could make texting with Gemini a lot more fun.

Google is giving its apps a new look, and Google Keep is joining the party with a style called Material 3 Expressive. This update brings a brighter, more engaging design to the note-taking app, making it feel modern and lively. An early peek from an APK teardown shows what’s coming, and it’s exciting!

The biggest change is the search bar—it’s now taller but slimmer, with a fresh design. The text inside it now says “Search Keep” instead of “Search your notes,” making it snappier. The account switcher and menu icons have moved outside the bar, and a new filter button sits inside, making searching easier.

These tweaks align with Google’s plan to refresh Android’s look with bold colors, smooth animations, and rounded shapes.This update isn’t just about looks—it’s part of a bigger change across Google’s apps.

While the full rollout will come with Android 16 QPR1 in September 2025, some users on devices like the Pixel 9 with the QPR1 beta are already seeing it. Google Keep’s redesign is one step in making Android feel more fun and user-friendly. More apps will get this vibrant update soon, so keep an eye out.

Google is developing a cool new tool for Android called “Handoff,” which lets you smoothly switch tasks between your devices. Found in a recent check of Google Play Services v25.25.31 beta, this feature will let you access apps, media, and notifications across all your Android gadgets.

It’s like starting a video call on your phone and easily moving it to your tablet without any hassle.This Handoff feature also syncs notifications, so you won’t have to clear the same alerts on multiple devices. You can share files and media between devices, too. Plus, with a tool called “App Cast,” you might even stream apps from one device to another, making it super easy to pick up where you left off.

Apple has a similar feature called Handoff, which lets you continue tasks across iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Samsung also offers something like this with its App Continuity for Galaxy devices. Google’s version, though, seems to go further by including notification syncing, which even Apple doesn’t do.

Since it’s built into Google Play Services, this feature should work on most Android devices, not just Pixels. While it’s still in development and not fully working yet, Google is clearly aiming to make your Android experience more connected. No official release date has been shared, but we’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
