Google expands Gemini, Gemma 4 and Wallet features as search and privacy pressure builds

Google expanded Gemini’s reach across more products today, with Ask Gemini in Drive now able to search Gmail threads as a source for eligible Workspace and Google AI subscribers. The feature is out of beta and generally available to Business and Enterprise users, as well as AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. engadget.com

Google also pushed its on-device AI strategy further with Gemma 4 12B, a model aimed at consumer laptops with at least 16GB of RAM. It adds native audio input, uses an encoder-free multimodal design, and is positioned between Google’s smaller mobile-focused Gemma releases and its larger 26B MoE model. androidauthority.com

Google’s device and service footprint kept widening beyond AI, too. Meet is rolling out on Android Auto, Google Wallet is expanding digital ID support to select EU states this summer, and the company is updating Google Pay checkout for faster verification. 9to5google.com engadget.com 9to5google.com

At the same time, Google faced fresh pressure on the privacy front as new Google Drive accounts now start with only 5GB unless users provide a phone number for the full 15GB. Separately, Google was also being replaced as the default search engine on European Parliament computers in favor of Qwant. xda-developers.com fudzilla.com
