Open the Google app by tapping the G icon. Tap on your profile icon in the top right. Then tap Settings. In Settings, tap Gemini. Now tap the Digital Assistant from Google. Choose Gemini to be your assistant. You may still see an option for Google Assistant. You can ignore that option.

Within the Gemini settings, you can also change how you talk to Gemini. Tap Hey Google and Voice Match to turn on that feature. This will let you start Gemini by saying Hey Google. You will need to train the phone by repeating some phrases. This step makes sure Gemini hears you clearly.

Choose How to Launch Gemini on Android

There are a few ways to open Gemini on Android. You can use your voice by saying Hey Google. You can also use a gesture or press a button.

You can also use a swipe from the bottom corner of the screen. If that is not on by default, open Settings, then System, and tap Navigation mode. If you are using gesture navigation, tap the gear icon next to Gestures. Find Swipe to invoke the assistant and turn it on. Now, swipe diagonally from the bottom corner, and Gemini will appear.
