Gemini may let you choose Chat or Tasks as your default

Google may soon let you decide how Gemini opens. Android Authority reports on an upcoming Gemini setting that would let you pick either Chat or Tasks as your default screen. The feature has not launched yet.

What it is

Gemini is Google's AI assistant, built into many Android phones. The new setting would let you choose which screen greets you first, instead of getting one fixed starting point. Chat and Tasks would be the two choices.

The outlet's story title also suggests Google may already be having second thoughts about a recent Gemini change. The material available does not say what that change is.

Who it affects

Anyone who uses Gemini on an Android phone could be touched. If the setting ships, you could set Gemini to open the way you actually use it. That saves a tap or two each time, which adds up if you open it often.

What is not known yet

• When the setting will launch, or whether it will launch at all.
• Which phones and users would get it first.
• What Google may be reconsidering with its recent Gemini change.
• Whether the final version will match what has been reported.

Because the feature is still upcoming, details could change before anything reaches your phone.
