How can I access Google Gemini on the Galaxy S25


To access Google Gemini on the Galaxy S25, follow these steps:

1. Use the Side Button: The Galaxy S25 series allows you to summon Google Gemini by simply pressing and holding the power/side button. This feature is a default setting on the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra models, making it more convenient compared to older Samsung devices that required additional steps to access Google Assistant or Bixby[1][2].

2. Customization Options: While the side button is set to activate Gemini by default, you can customize this button to access other functions if desired. However, for quick access, just hold the side button[3].

3. Voice Activation: Alternatively, you can also access Gemini by saying “Hey Google,” provided that voice activation is enabled on your device. This method is applicable for older Galaxy models as well[5].

4. Interacting with Apps: Once activated, Gemini allows for seamless interaction across various apps, including Samsung's native applications like Calendar and Notes, as well as third-party apps like Spotify and Google Maps. You can perform tasks such as setting reminders or composing messages directly through Gemini[2][8].

5. Gemini Live Feature: The Galaxy S25 supports the Gemini Live feature, which enhances user interaction by allowing you to include images, files, and videos in your conversations with Gemini. This feature is designed to make interactions more dynamic and context-aware[9][11].

By following these steps, you can effectively utilize Google Gemini on your Galaxy S25 for a variety of tasks and interactions across your device.
