gemini security

The gemini security tag covers a reported Android 16 lock-screen flaw involving Google Gemini. On affected locked phones, a person with physical access could reportedly use Gemini to send SMS messages or enable WhatsApp messaging without entering the device PIN. The coverage follows Google’s acknowledgment of the issue and its planned fix, while noting that public confirmation for every affected device may not yet be available. It also explains the immediate mitigation: open Gemini, access the profile settings, choose “Gemini on lock screen,” and disable the option that allows calls and messages without unlocking the phone.
