- Gemini on Android currently sends only text messages through Google Messages.
- If you ask Gemini to send an image via Google Messages, it will only send a blank URL in the text, as MMS is not supported yet.
- New code suggests Gemini will soon support RCS through Google Messages, potentially enabling image sharing.
Gemini on Android can be used like a good old digital assistant to send text messages to one of your contacts. Once Gemini accepts the command, it taps into the Google Messages app to send the text. You can even get creative with text generation, like asking Gemini to write a congratulatory message, a birthday greeting, a joke, or a haiku, and then send it to someone. However, what you can’t do is ask Gemini to generate an image and send it as text (MMS), as currently, Gemini is limited to SMS only. This could soon change, as we’ve spotted clues that indicate Gemini could let you send multimedia messages through Google Messages, thanks to the power of RCS.
