Leak Suggests Google Is Testing ‘Gemini Spark,’ an Always-On Android Agent

The unverified leak points to sweeping data access that could raise privacy concerns.

Overview

  • A screenshot shared by X user Fandu, cited by Android Authority and reported by Times Now, shows an onboarding screen for a tool called Gemini Spark.
  • The screen describes an assistant that runs in the background and completes tasks across apps without waiting for prompts.
  • It lists access to linked apps, scheduled tasks, logged-in sites, chat history, local information, and a feature labeled Personal Intelligence.
  • The notice warns the agent could share sensitive data with third parties, make purchases without confirmation, and store remote browser session details including logins and remote code execution data.
  • Separately from the leak, Google has announced plans to embed Gemini across Android to automate tasks, offer autofill, polish speech to text, and act as a gatekeeper for web browsing.
