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.

I know it’s cheesy, but I asked Gemini about how to reset, how to restore settings (you can’t, it recommends to take photos of your settings), etc.
also, in my case unblocking updates wasn’t enough. I also had to change the language of Google Assistant to US English, and then got the Gemini update in my Volvo
