What to know

  • Gemini Live has started rolling out to free users on Android. 
  • The feature allows for voice-based conversations with enhanced natural language capabilities.
  • A broader rollout to iOS and additional languages will take place in the coming weeks.

Gemini Live, the advanced AI assistant with the ability to have natural free-flowing conversations with users, is making its way to Android devices. However, the rollout is not happening all at once, leaving many Android users wondering when they’ll get access to this exciting new feature. 

Google has already begun rolling out Gemini Live to free users with Android phones. The rollout is gradual, and is coming to all Android users soon. Google typically staggers its updates to ensure a smooth deployment and to catch any potential issues before they affect a large number of users.

Although Google didn’t provide a specific timeline it’s likely to be no more than a few weeks away. The availability will depend on several factors, including the device model, Android version, and geographical region.

Given its capabilities, Gemini Live will require a minimum Android version to operate smoothly. But, unlike before, it won’t require a Gemini Advanced subscription anymore.

Users eager to get their hands on Gemini Live should keep their devices updated with the latest Android version available for their model. Additionally, checking for system updates regularly can help ensure you receive the feature as soon as it’s available for your device.

You can also check the Google Play Store for updates to the Google app, as Gemini Live may be delivered through an app update rather than a system update in some cases.

As demo-ed at the Google I/O, Gemini Live brings more natural and lifelike conversations, better understanding of context, and the ability to perform complex tasks across various apps on your device. It’s also available in 10 different voices, though it’s currently limited to English only.

While waiting for Gemini Live to arrive on your Android phone, you can explore other AI features that might already be available on your device, such as Google Assistant or device-specific AI enhancements.

While Gemini Live is on its way to Android phones, the exact timing for your device depends on various factors. Keep an eye on this page for the most up-to-date information on when you can expect to experience Gemini Live on your Android phone.
