A man shared a video of his mother asking Gemini for help with posting a WhatsApp status. From opening the app to finding the right option and picking a photo, the AI walks her through each step. The video was shared by Instagram user Mohit Sharma, with the text, “Gemini being the son my mom always wanted.”
In the clip, Mohit’s mother can be heard asking Gemini how to open WhatsApp. The AI then guides her through the process, asking her to use the search option at the bottom of the screen and type “WhatsApp”.
After she confirms that she has opened the app, Gemini explains how to find the Updates section. It tells her to tap the circular icon at the bottom left of the screen.
“Acha. Daba diya,” she responds after following the instruction.
Gemini then explains that she is on the Updates screen and tells her how to add a new status. It suggests tapping “Add status” or using the camera or pencil icon in the corner.
“Pencil hi kar diya maine,” she says.
