Google May Expand Gemini Calling for Personal Calls, Delivering 15-Minute-Late Messages

3 articles · Updated · The Verge · Oct 5

Android Authority found a “Gemini Calling” intro screen in an APK teardown, pointing to Google extending its Call for Me feature from businesses to personal contacts.
The examples are narrow: Gemini would place simple calls such as telling Mom you are 15 minutes late or asking John if he is coming to dinner.
Granular app permissions also appeared in the teardown, including apparent phone-call controls that could let users limit Gemini’s access or potentially block incoming automated calls.
Google has not announced the feature, and the reported expansion and permission settings may never ship publicly.
