Google may be expanding its "Call for Me" feature, currently used for business calls, to personal calls. The evidence comes from an APK teardown by Android Authority, which found a "Gemini Calling" introductory screen with example prompts like telling a parent you'll be late or asking a friend about dinner.
Based on the examples, the feature appears limited to short, text-like messages rather than full conversations. It could be useful for reaching people who prefer phone calls, miss texts, or still use landlines. The same teardown also revealed granular permissions that would let users choose which app capabilities Gemini can access, possibly including an opt-out for incoming automated calls.
The report is a rumor; Android Authority notes Google might not publicly release the expansion or the new settings. The Verge's coverage does not add independent confirmation, so the details remain speculative.
