Connect Google Wallet to Gemini

All Gemini app users in the US can connect Google Wallet for responses informed by your spending habits. They also have the option to securely link your financial accounts from your credit cards and banks to Wallet via Plaid to unlock deeper insights.

Open the Gemini app and tag @Google Wallet to ask questions around personal finance, budgeting and more.

You can try:

• Visualise spending: Questions like “can we review my spending from last quarter so I can save $1,000 over the next three months?” enable Gemini to generate dynamic charts tracking cash flow, asset allocation, and budgets directly in your chat.
• Find forgotten subscriptions: If you ask “what subscriptions am I still paying for, and did any of them go up in price this year?“ Gemini finds recurring charges across your linked accounts and flags price increases.
• Budget for the holidays: When you ask “how much did I spend on gifts and travel last year? Use that to help me set a holiday budget for this year,” Gemini will look at your transactions from last year and suggest a budget tailored to you.

If you choose to connect your Wallet (under Connected Apps in Personal Intelligence settings), Gemini can only read information from your accounts; it can’t move, manage, or invest your money. You decide if and when you want to opt in to this experience, and you can turn the connection on or off at any time.

For Personal Intelligence, Google is also making it easier for you to see and edit what Gemini remembers. Memory Summary gives you a clear, readable snapshot of your saved preferences, interests, and ongoing goals in one place so you always know how Gemini tailors responses for you. You can review and edit anytime. Open Profile > Personal Intelligence > Memory Summary to view, refine, or remove any details whenever you want. Memory Summary is available on the web and mobile for all Gemini app users where Personal Intelligence is available.

Availability

Google Wallet in Gemini is rolling out across web and mobile for Gemini app users on both Android and iOS in the US.

Currently, users need to select a photo or video before adding a location sticker, while the upcoming feature will introduce a dedicated ‘Location’ option in the status creation menu.

WhatsApp – Instants Photo and Video Sharing

Meta introduced a feature called Instants to Instagram back in May of this year, and it seems like the same is coming to WhatsApp, as the same has been discovered in WhatsApp beta for Android version ‘2.26.45.13 ‘.

The report by WABetaInfo reveals that users will be able to access this upcoming feature via the lightning bolt icon at the top of the Chats tab, which will open its camera, allowing users to capture photos or record videos lasting up to 30 seconds. Notably, the Gallery uploads will not be supported, and the shared media will disappear after the recipient views it.

Users can add captions and choose from several filters, including Original, Goof, Bulge, Nervous, Tears, Fisheye, Glitch, VHS, Fade, and Prism, though these may change before release. The report also highlights that Screenshot blocking is also planned.

Moreover, sharing will be restricted to mutual contacts who have each other’s numbers saved, and the media and captions will be protected with end-to-end encryption.

About their availability, the reports do not mention whether these features will also arrive on iOS, while both are currently being tested for Android.
