androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-08 22:21:21

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR Google could soon update Gemini on Wear OS to support follow-up conversations. While the mic input currently turns off after a response, you may have the option to continue conversations without tapping the mic button on the screen again. Additionally, Google has also added an option to disable Gemini’s voice-based responses on watches entirely. Gemini is set to arrive on Nest and other Google Home speakers next week, following its recent rollout to sma

Adam Molina / Android Authority It’s been a while since Google released a new smart speaker, but that’s set to change in the very near future. Just about five years after the Nest Audio launched in October 2020, word on the street is that Google will soon debut the “Google Home Speaker.” Google first teased its new speaker in August during the Pixel 10 launch event, while subsequent leaks have confirmed its existence and indicated that it’s almost certainly being released before the end of the

Just south of Seoul, in the city of Seongnam, sits what many call the “Silicon Valley of South Korea”: the sprawling tech complex known as Pangyo Techno Valley (PTV), which is just a 15-minute subway ride from Gangnam, better known for its luxury boutiques, K-pop agencies, and neon nightlife in Seoul.

TL;DR At the Snapdragon Summit, Google’s Rick Osterloh hinted that the company is working on a “common technical foundation” to bring Android and AI features to PCs. We previously reported that Google may be planning to merge Chrome OS and Android, unifying the two operating systems.

No tricks, but skywatchers may be in for an October treat when a newly discovered comet passes through our skies. Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) — or SWAN25B for short — looks to be heading our way. The comet — named after the science instrument aboard the SOHO space observatory, which observes the sun — was first spotted on Sept. 11 by Ukrainian amateur astronomer Vladimir Bezugly, while studying images captured by SWAN.

Gemini chat controls may be about to change in the Google app (APK teardown)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR We spotted several Gemini UI changes being tested in the latest Google app update. The chat screen adds a new way to start a chat, a dropdown menu, and a Share option in two places. The menu now says “Connected Apps” instead of “Apps.” Google keeps refining the Gemini experience inside the Google app, and the latest update may be about to bring a few subtle but handy changes.

Previously, the Play Store only supported three simultaneous downloads or updates.
