An APK teardown helps predict options which will arrive on a service sooner or later primarily based on work-in-progress code. Nevertheless, it’s potential that such predicted options might not make it to a public launch.
Gemini’s AI-generated backgrounds debuted on Google Meet again in 2023 as a part of its Workspace Labs program. Google later prolonged this characteristic to all customers with a Gemini for Google Workspace add-on or Google One AI Premium subscription. Nevertheless, Android was omitted of the celebration because the characteristic was solely accessible for the net model of Meet. We noticed proof that Google was engaged on bringing the characteristic to Android in our earlier APK teardown, but it surely wasn’t working on the time.

Simply in time for the vacations, there’s now additionally a brand new possibility for Christmas. As you’ll be able to guess, it will generate Christmas-themed backgrounds on your video name. This Christmas possibility is at present solely exhibiting within the Android app. You possibly can see the choice is lacking from the net model within the left screenshot above.
