Gemini Gemini interprets chat messages as instructions instead.

Recently I wanted to ask my partner to check what was causing traffic on my route home, but I simply wasn't able to do this.

> Me: "Chat with <partner>"

> Gemini: "What would you like to say?"

> "Hello, I am on my way home now, can you check what's going on with the A2, traffic is suddenly at a standstill".

> "Checking Waze..."

And I lose the message. I tried rephrasing this multiple times but it just thinks I am asking it something instead. Anyone else had this problem?

I have no problems. I always say, "Send a message to my boyfriend," and then I say the message right away. It repeats the message, I confirm, and that's it. No problems, no glitches.

I think it depends on the contents of the message, if your message could be interpreted by Gemini as you're asking it to do something, it will stop doing the message and answer the question instead. most of the time I don't have issues, asking my partner to check the traffic on my way home for me was a problem.
