Hi everyone just wondering if you was able to say like hey Google send a message or reply to a message without it always saying sure I can help with that but first you need to unlock your phone.... Because if I need to unlock my phone first of just send the text myself without asking her to do it for me......

It will be to do do with security reasons though certain tasks can be performed with your phone unlocked including certain messages. https://support.google.com/gemini/answer/14576209?hl=en-GB

You really made me laugh because you reminded me of how a colleague of mine activated MY Gemini on MY phone, just because Google thought it could hear me.😂
You certainly don't want someone near you with a similar voice saying: Hey Google, call a Nigerian prince, send him a plane ticket, because we're getting married in London tomorrow, and Google does all of that without asking for your confirmation. Or maybe you want? 🤭😂😂

I think it should be able to do a text from the lock screen

You can. But you must allow Gemini on lock screen

In Google app (widget) on your homescreen. Tap your Google account profile on top right,scroll to settings and find Gemini. Or through Gemini app settings.
And in Gemini in settings you must turn on Messages and Phone in Connected apps
