- Google app teardown points to a possible offline mode for Gemini Live
Android Authority found strings in Google app version 17.71.17 for Android describing an offline mode that would let users run Gemini Live without an internet connection. The implementation remains unclear, including whether it would use Gemini Nano, retain camera and screen sharing, or perform more slowly or less accurately than the cloud-based service.
Android Authority · 🔥 3 - Google Messages rolls out Enhanced Protection for spam and scams
Google Messages for Android is rolling out an opt-in Enhanced Protection mode with three features: cloud-based Scam Detection, enhanced link protections and redesigned warnings for links sent by numbers outside the user’s contacts. Scam Detection uses cloud Gemini models with Android Private AI Compute to evaluate message context, while link protections use the on-device Gemini Nano model and real-time web signals to assess unfamiliar links. Google says cloud detection is better at identifying novel and sophisticated attacks than its existing on-device detection. The enhanced link-protection feature is available on Pixel 10+, Samsung Galaxy S26 series, Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8 and other select devices; the report does not establish the availability of the full Enhanced Protection mode across those devices. The option was observed in Google Messages beta version 20261020_00_RC00, with no stable-version rollout timeline given.
9to5Google · 🔥 0 - Google adds Gemini-powered scam detection to Android and Messages
Google announced an opt-in Enhanced protection mode for Google Messages that sends chats with unknown senders to cloud-based Gemini models to assess scam intent, with a rollout expected in the coming weeks. Android is also adding on-device Gemini Nano checks for unfamiliar links before they are opened, plus screen-sharing protections and blocks on apps silently enabling call forwarding. Google says its scam detection tools already flag more than 5 million suspected scam calls and texts each month, and that verified bank-call checks have blocked over 3 million fake bank calls since June.
