Google has rolled out a new functionality for Gemini — its artificial intelligence (AI) assistant on Android smartphones, according to a report. It lets users share a document with the AI assistant using the Android share sheet, negating the need for opening Gemini and then manually uploading a file for analysis. This development comes after the Gemini app for Android was upgraded with a saved info feature which enables it to remember specific information about a user's interests and preferences.

Using Android Share Sheet With Gemini

In a report, Android Authority highlighted that this functionality has been introduced with the Gemini app for Android version 1.0.686588308. Following its rollout, users can now quickly attach files via the Android share sheet from any app by tapping the share icon and then selecting Gemini from the list of options.

With this feature, users will not have to manually search for a file through the file picker in the Gemini app, and will be able to quickly carry out analysis by directly uploading it, the report speculates.

Additionally, the report adds that users can select up to 10 files simultaneously for analysis. However, this capability has several limitations when it comes to file extensions. As per the report, it can accept plain files in the TXT format, document files in DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF, DOT, DOTX, HWP, and HWPX formats, and code files with C, CPP, PY, JAVA, PHP, SQL, and HTML extensions.

Gemini Advanced Plan Requirement for Using the Feature
