Gemini's new Troubleshooting mode guides users through problems step by step using text responses and interactive widgets. It identifies common causes and presents symptom options to tap, narrowing down the issue faster. The mode reportedly runs on a lower temperature setting, sticking closely to the problem and skipping conversational filler. Google has not officially announced the feature, and its status remains unclear.

Google Cloud has signed a short-term deal with SpaceX to provide bridge capacity for Gemini Enterprise. The agreement ensures capacity to meet surging customer demand. Google will pay $920 million per month under the deal. The partnership supports Gemini Enterprise as it prepares for its initial public offering.

The Gemini app now integrates with Google Contacts, providing personalized insights and responses based on user contacts. The integration allows users to find, add, edit, or delete contacts from Google Contacts and sync contact info from signed-in devices. Google Contacts is rolling out and currently available on one AI Ultra account with Gemini Spark. The integration joins other first-party services in Connected Apps.

Google's Gemini for Mac app has limitations, including a lack of multitasking features and icon issues. The app replaces text entry boxes with buttons to open the website, and users can't have multiple chat windows open. This is in contrast to the Safari 'Add to Dock' feature, which allows for multiple chat windows and works with all chat threads. The Gemini Mac app is also affected by Apple's 'icon jail' behavior, which restricts app icon shapes and sizes.

Apple's iOS 27 will launch a beta AI Siri powered by Google's Gemini models. Users must join a waitlist to access the feature. Siri chats will sync across Apple devices via iCloud. Users can set Siri to forget history every 30 days, annually, or never. The feature will roll out in September with beta access starting June 8.
