You no longer need to tag specific apps in Gemini
Google's Gemini AI recently received a significant update: you no longer need to tag specific apps like @Google Maps or @YouTube when asking questions.
Now, you can simply type what you want—like "show me cool cafes nearby" or "show me flights to Tokyo and give me ideas of things to do"—and Gemini figures out which app to use.
The old "Apps" page is now called "Connected Apps," highlighting this more seamless approach.
Gemini can connect to many popular apps
Gemini's Connected Apps cover a bunch of popular services, from Phone, Messages, and WhatsApp to Google Photos, Spotify, YouTube Music, Google Workspace, GitHub, and even smart home controls with Google Home.
Just ask what you need and let Gemini handle it
This update means you can talk to your phone more naturally—no more memorizing app names or commands.
Just ask what you need in your own words and let Gemini handle the rest.
It's all about making life a little simpler and keeping everything connected behind the scenes.
