Google is testing an expansion of its Gemini Call for Me feature to handle personal calls — not just business ones, according to APK teardown findings reported by Android Authority and cited by The Verge. The change would let users type requests like “Call Mom and tell her I will be 15 minutes late” or “Call John and ask if he is coming for dinner.” No launch date, version number, or rollout timeline has been confirmed.
Google has not announced the feature publicly. It remains unverified in any stable or beta Android release as of 5 October 2026. The Verge notes the capability appears limited to short, scripted voice messages. Not open-ended conversations.
Think voicemail replacement, not AI stand-in. Android Authority’s teardown also uncovered signs of granular permissions for Gemini actions inside individual apps, including toggles that may let users block automated calls from specific services or disable incoming Gemini-initiated calls entirely. But those settings are also unconfirmed in production. And they may never ship: The Verge explicitly flags the possibility that Google abandons the expansion before release.
