Samsung users might soon get a big upgrade to how they use their devices. Gemini is set to gain more control over Samsung’s stock apps, including Clock, Notes, Reminders, and Calendar. Galaxy users could soon do things like set alarms, create reminders, update notes, or schedule events, all with their voices.
This new feature will work with Android 16‘s App Functions, which allows Gemini to perform tasks inside Samsung apps for you. For example, you could tell Gemini to “Create an alarm for 10 AM” or “Add a note about my party” and it would do it directly in the Samsung Clock or Notes app.
Recently, Assemble Debug found references to the App Functions library inside the Samsung Reminders app. These codes indicate that Gemini will soon be able to manage tasks such as creating, deleting, or updating reminders, alarms, and notes.
The new integration is possible because of a special Android permission that lets Gemini, as a system assistant, control different apps on your phone.
While these features aren’t live yet, they’re expected to come once Android 16 is officially released. Once available, Gemini could become a powerful tool for managing your day-to-day tasks across Samsung apps, all through voice commands.
Right now, we’re still waiting to see when Android 16 will be released. Gemini could soon be more useful than ever in helping you stay organized and manage your Samsung device.
Notably, Android 16 reportedly has a codenamed Baklava, which will be released earlier than usual. Instead of the usual Q3 release, it will now come in Q2 2025. The exact date for the Android 16 rollout was unclear at first, but it now appears to be set for June 2025.
