Google is making it easier to message Gemini.

Android Authority reports that the latest APK for Google Messages contains a new fab that allows users to chat with Gemini directly instead of tapping the button at the bottom of the messages list.

It’s a slightly more streamlined process, but given this isn’t even available to beta testers yet there’s no word on when it could be generally available.
