Google's Gemini app could be a major music upgrade.

It was recently revealed that the Google Gemini app will soon allow users to choose their preferred music service provider on Android. The news came from a post on X by AssembleDebug (via piunikaweb), a well-known leak.

This is partially due to the lack of certain features compared to the Assistant. One of the missing features was the option to select a preferred music provider.

Assemble Debug has published two screenshots that reveal the new settings within Android's Gemini settings menu; the first shows the basic settings and the new "Music" option that allows users to configure their music choices.

The second image shows the default media provider selection screen. The selection screen appears blank, but is understandable at this early stage.

We expect users will be able to choose from media providers like Spotify, YouTube Music, and many others.

One point of uncertainty is whether Apple Music will be included as an option for Gemini for Android. Recent reports that Apple is in talks with Google to bring Gemini's AI model to the iPhone may indicate the formation of a broader partnership.

Google has been gradually improving Google Gemini as a smart assistant to make it better for consumers and to push people to accept it as their default app. This includes bringing more assistant features to Gemini and improving Gemini's AI model.

Recently, Google updated the Google Gemini Pro 1.5 model to hear voice input from clips and videos. While this is currently only available to third-party developers and is not part of the Gemini app, it is expected that a consumer product will be available in the future, further extending the capabilities of Gemini on Android.

There is no information on when this new feature will be added, and it appears to be in the very early stages. However, music integration may help the last few Google Assistant users switch to the AI model. For those users, here are a few ways to try out Google Gemini. For example, here are seven Google Gemini AI prompts to try this weekend.
