Gemini’s Google Messages, iMessage, and WhatsApp problem

Google's Gemini aims to be personal, proactive, and powerful, but faces a significant challenge in messaging. While it can hyper-personalize responses using Google services, it lacks access to the rich, casual information shared in chats. On Android, Google Messages could integrate Gemini, but third-party apps like WhatsApp pose a hurdle. On iOS, Google's messaging failure is a major obstacle. For Gemini to succeed, Google must address messaging, potentially through partnerships rather than building another app.
