Gemini's "Call for Me" may expand to leaving messages for friends and family
Understand the story
According to Android Authority on October 6, 2026, an APK teardown uncovered a "Gemini Calling" intro screen, with examples including "call Mom and tell her I'll be 15 minutes late." The finding suggests Google may plan to extend Gemini's existing "Call for Me" feature—which makes business calls on users' behalf (such as reservations or asking about business hours)—to placing calls to friends and family to leave messages. The report notes this was found via an APK teardown, so it is only a code-level clue; Google has not officially announced the feature or confirmed whether or when it will launch. As of that report, the event remains at an early discovery stage, with no further official response.
