Gemini is broken? Can't use basic weather and direction commands.
I really don't know what else to try anymore. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy s26 ultra. When asking Gemini for the weather, it defaults to the state I'm in. Not the city. I've tried to tell it multiple times to only give me the weather relevant to my precise location and it just keeps defaulting to the state I'm in.
With directions, if I ask it for a place nearby it will say stuff like "that place is 90 minutes from Washington DC. Let me know where you want to start from and we can get you going"
My location is on. I've tried to reset it. Tried to disable and enable Gemini.
If you swap to Google assistant, it works. It pulls weather data and maps using my location with zero issues. As does Bixby. As does Meta Muse.
Wtf.

Only the SOUTHERN HALF of Belize is disputed, so why does Google Maps show the ENTIRETY of Belize as disputed? For my entire life, I mistakenly believed that Guatemala claims the entirety of Belize because of this.

SafeSearch has been strengthened for Korean IP addresses.
Even if you change your country settings, SafeSearch will be forcibly applied if you are using a South Korean IP address; to disable it—unless you connect via a VPN or proxy server—you must complete identity verification.
User scripts capable of bypassing SafeSearch have also stopped working.

It's 2026, and Google still hasn't restored a basic feature it had working in 2015
Google Play Music supported gapless playback over Chromecast back in 2015. More than a decade later, its replacement still doesn't.
It's frustrating to lose an existing feature, especially when Google promised to preserve key functionality during the transition to YouTube Music.
Six years after Google Play Music shut down, there's still no apparent solution.
How does a feature that worked in 2015 remain missing in 2026?

Classroom making desktop shortcut
This is happening on both my personal computer (I tend to grade things at home and don't feel like bringing home my school computer) and my school one. No matter what I do, even if I don't open Google Classroom, a desktop shortcut is always added once I boot up the computers. If I don't delete the shortcut, it will keep adding a new one. I've been looking for help in figuring out, but the only thing I can find online is how to make the shortcut.
It's not the end of the world, but man is it annoying. Any help will be appreciated <3

The app this thing wants me to delete is an app i have used for years, and now it wants me to delete it

Parental controls a joke
Warning to parents, if you think adding parental controls to your Chrome
browser limits NSFW content: It doesn’t. It doesn’t filter out all the new AI chatbot p*%n sites. Google knows and doesn’t consider it a priority to fix. The official company suggestion is that parents should change settings to only allow the specific website you want your kid to access, rather than rely on the parental filter.
Anyone who has kids in schools
knows there are a constant number of online sites, tools and videos teachers use in class. “Allow only” is a ridiculous expectation and creates a micromanagement burden on already overwhelmed parents trying to give kids safe tech.
Why offer a parental filter at all, Google, if you’re not keeping it capable of blocking the AI nsfw reality your team KNOWS it doesn’t filter out?
In addition - If you have disabled a browser on your kid’s Iphone and set up content and app restrictions, Google Maps STILL allows kids to access nsfw content. It functions like a browser you don’t restrict. They may not be able to open the links, but they can still see pretty shocking thumbnail images. It’s a workaround your kids (and likely Google) know about.
The only option is not to allow Google Maps on your kids phone.
How pathetic, Google.

Really can't get new video on youtube, it only show old ones..
YouTube search is half museum.
Built a small Chrome extension: set a view floor and an upload cut-off, and old or
barely-watched results disappear from search, home and Shorts.
