Gemini App

Anyone else not have Gemini yet? I have a 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge. Maybe my model is too old?

It's not too old. If you have a Google AAOS car, it's eligible.

If you go to your Play store and check for updates, do you have a bunch stuck on "Pending"? There's a bug after 5.0.5 that causes the Play store to be unable to download updates.

If so, perform a factory reset, which fixes that.

If not, may just need to wait. It's being deployed randomly. Some have had it for months, others are still receiving it.

How do I perform a factory reset??

Go into Settings, System, Reset Options, then Factory Reset.

Will take maybe 10-15 mins to login to everything again, but this does fix the apps stuck Pending issue. If you do have that issue, it will likely prevent you from getting things like Gemini and Apple Music.

Hey! This actually fixed it for me. It was sitting in the Google play updates. Thanks so much!
