Make calls with the Gemini mobile app on Android

You can ask the Gemini mobile app, including Gemini as your mobile assistant, to make phone calls for you with the Phone app. With the Phone app, Gemini can use your device’s calling app to call your contacts, businesses, and phone numbers directly.

Important: We're gradually releasing this feature, so it might not be available to you just yet.

What you need

Important:

  • Apps are not available while using features powered directly by Google Assistant.
  • Don’t use the Phone app in Gemini to call emergency services. Instead, use your device’s calling app directly to make an emergency call.

Enable the Phone app

Based on your settings, the Phone app might be enabled by default. You can disable this extension at any time on your Apps page in Gemini settings. Learn how to manage apps in Gemini.

  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open Gemini .
  2. Ask it to make a call.
    • If Gemini doesn’t use the Phone app, add @Phone to your prompt. If the app is disabled, you’ll get the option to enable it.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Tip: Connected apps work in the same way for both spoken and typed prompts. If 'Hey Google' doesn't work, check if 'Hey Google' and Voice Match are set up.

Make a phone call

You can ask the Gemini mobile app to make a phone call for you, in a natural and conversational way.

Tip: By default, the Gemini mobile app uses the last app it used to call the same contact. If the Gemini app uses the Phone app, it uses your default phone app on your Android device. Learn how to change your default phone app.

Manage settings

What Gemini can’t do with the Phone app

There are some actions that are available with Google Assistant that are currently not available with the Phone app. For now, the Phone app can't help you to:

  • Accept or reject calls
  • Call your voicemail
  • Call based on a relationship, such as “call my sister”
  • Take action when your phone is locked

While some actions aren’t supported by the Phone app in Gemini yet, your Gemini mobile app may still perform them with help from Google Assistant, even with connected apps disabled. Learn more about Google Assistant features in your Gemini mobile app.

About your data & communication apps

The Gemini mobile app uses your data to help it choose the most helpful app to use and connect you with the right person. Learn more about your data and communication apps.

How apps work in Gemini

  • Gemini only connects to apps that are on your Apps page in Gemini settings. This includes apps you turn on when you specify them in your prompt with an "@" mention.
  • Gemini checks for apps that can help it generate a more helpful response. If Gemini finds an app that can help, it automatically sends information from your conversation and other relevant information to that app. For example, Gemini will send your location data to Google Maps if you ask for coffee shops near you and the Google Maps app is on in your Apps page in Gemini settings.
  • Gemini won’t access your personal content in other services without your permission. Some apps are designed to automatically work with Gemini apps.
  • If you directly interact with another Google service in Gemini Apps, your activity might be saved by that other service. For example, if you watch a YouTube video in a Gemini app, YouTube may:
  • Gemini Apps can connect with third-party apps and services. When they do, Gemini Apps share information with those apps and services to fulfill your requests. That information is then used by those third-party apps and services according to their own developers' privacy policies.
  • If you disable the YouTube app, you can still talk Live about a video you’re viewing in the YouTube app.
