EU rules force Google to open Android AI access as Gemini 3.5 Pro slips again
Deep-Owl-1890 · reddit · 2026-07-22
The European Commission is forcing Google to open Android’s system-level AI access to rival assistants, while Gemini 3.5 Pro keeps missing its launch deadline.
- Under the DMA, rivals like ChatGPT or Claude should eventually get access to the same wake-word, home-button, screen-reading, and in-app control privileges that Gemini has on Android.
- The post says those changes will roll out starting January 2027 for search data and July 2027 for Android features.
- It also argues that Gemini 3.5 Pro has now missed three straight deadlines, and that enterprise buyers are defaulting to GPT-5.6 or Claude instead.
