Digital Wellbeing v1.50 beta gives us our first look at Weekly Insights and Gemini integration

Google is preparing an interactive weekly summary for your screen time habits through Android’s Digital Wellbeing tool, and it has picked up a few noteworthy upgrades along the way. Back in September, we spotted an in-development feature called “Weekly wrap” inside Digital Wellbeing that promised to turn raw screen-time metrics into AI-generated summaries. With Digital Wellbeing v1.50.1015162751.beta, Google has renamed the feature to “Weekly Insights,” while laying the groundwork for a deeper integration with Gemini.

We enabled Weekly Insights ahead of its launch to get clues on how it might work. When the Weekly Insights feature is enabled, users will get a notification every week. The notification will urge you to open that week’s insights and give you an option to turn off the feature.

The notification opens into a couple of weekly recap slides. The first one gives you a look at your week, with daily average use across different app categories. The second slide shows you App time across browser and social apps. On the next slide, you see the App opens page, which shows the most-opened app of the week.

The last slide shows a Suggestion screen. This screen encourages you to dig deeper and explore your Digital Wellbeing settings with Gemini. With this, you can chat with Gemini about how your Digital Wellbeing settings can work best for you.

Tapping Explore settings will open the Gemini app with an automatically inserted prompt in the compose box. However, this isn’t fully functional just yet, as Gemini on our devices says that it doesn’t have direct access to device usage statistics.

In case you want to revisit the insight or miss the notification, you can also access your weekly insights directly from the Digital Wellbeing app. You’ll likely also find a toggle here to turn off the feature completely.

Interestingly, while early code strings indicated that Google would rely on Gemini Nano to keep analysis on-device, Weekly Insights ran on our rooted test device without downloading the local Nano models. This suggests these statistical insights could work on a broader range of hardware, while Gemini Nano-equipped devices could potentially access richer, narrative-style recaps.

As with most in-development features, Google hasn’t said whether or when it will roll this out to users. We’ll keep you updated when we learn more. Google is also working on an Expressive redesign for Digital Wellbeing’s app activity, App timers, and Bedtime mode, so there’s plenty cooking on this end.
