Google Maps Prepares Food Ordering in Android v26.27 as Ask Maps Expands Gemini Role

Summary
Google Maps for Android v26.27.00.941319029 contains new strings pointing to an upcoming Ask Maps feature that can order food for users.
Text in the teardown says users can “say what you’re craving, discover local favorites, and Maps will order for you—even while you’re on the go,” suggesting end-to-end ordering rather than just recommendations.
The feature is not live yet, and the code appears tied to a first-run promo with prompts such as “Order food” and “Try it out.”
How the ordering will work remains unclear, including whether Gemini will handle it in the cloud or whether any device-specific agentic AI restrictions could apply.
The report stems from an APK teardown, meaning the capability is still in development and may change or never reach public release.
