Google adds Gemini Labs to centralize experimental features

3 February 2026 at 23:54

Google has brought a new feature, Gemini Labs, to the Gemini web app. This new section is made to hold features that are still being tested. It helps users clearly see which tools are new, experimental, and not fully finished yet. By doing this, Google makes Gemini easier to understand and use.

A new toggle, Personal Intelligence, has been added with app. This option lets users choose whether Gemini can use information from connected Google apps, like Gmail or Google Drive, during a chat.

The setting is turned on by default. If users turn it off, Gemini will not use their connected app data in that conversation. When a new chat starts, the setting turns back on automatically.

To support these changes, Google has slightly changed the Tools menu. Regular features such as Deep Research, Nano Banana, and Deep Think are now grouped together in the main Tools area. Experimental features are kept in Gemini Labs so users can easily tell the difference.

For months, signs of Gemini Labs appeared in updates behind the scenes, showing Google was preparing a space for testing new ideas. Right now, Gemini Labs is only available on the Gemini web app in some regions. Mobile apps have not changed yet, but Google will likely bring this feature to more users soon. Stay tuned for more information.

Most Android Auto users are still waiting for Gemini

31 January 2026 at 23:54

Back in November 2025, Google officially confirmed Gemini for Android Auto, which raises hopes for a better voice assistant in cars. Many drivers were excited because the Google Assistant has not been working well in cars. People hoped Gemini would arrive quickly, but that has not happened.

Even after several months, most Android Auto users still do not have Gemini. This has surprised and disappointed many drivers who were waiting for the update.

Drivers are sharing their experiences online every day. On Reddit, many users say Gemini has not appeared on their Android Auto system yet. Most cars still show the old Google Assistant.

A report by 9to5Google makes the situation clear. Nearly 7,200 people voted, and 92% said they do not have Gemini. Only a very small number said they got it recently.

Some users tried joining the Android Auto beta program. A few people say this helped, but it does not work for everyone and is not recommended for regular users.

Google may be rolling out Gemini gradually. Early users say Gemini is better at natural talking and feels more human while driving. This is one reason people are excited about it.

However, Gemini also has an issue right now. Some users report that it talks too long, stops suddenly, or even talks to itself during Gemini Live.

Google has not shared any clear update about when more people will get Gemini. Until Google speeds things up, most Android Auto users will have to wait longer for the new assistant.
