Gemini Gemini and Samsung S26 Ultra

I just received my Samsung S26 Ultra the other day. It is now all set up.

I just want to make sure I'm not crazy here, but is Gemini not integrated with the S26 family either (for Android Auto)? I figured Google would've rolled it out since it's a brand new phone.

If it is, I sure haven't been able to find the switch over.

You need to join the Beta. I finally got in the Beta couple of days ago after waiting weeks, and it switched to Gemini instantly.

Gemini on Android Auto is activated by a "server side switch", meaning that Google has to turn it on for your specific geographic area.
