New and improved Gemini Live is rolling out: how to know if you got it already
Earlier this month, Google started emailing Gemini Live users about an upgrade that makes “your conversations even more dynamic and engaging.” It’s rolling out now, and here’s how to check if you have the new Gemini Live update.The new Gemini Live experience is thanks to the “latest model.” It allows Live to “better understand multiple languages, dialects, or accents,” as well as “help with your translation needs.”
Google’s Gemini Live can talk to you, but I wouldn’t call the human-sounding AI chatbot a stimulating conversationalist. Despite that, Google wants you to—at the very least—imagine Gemini Live as a true companion. As the company’s AI models grow more capable, Google’s latest updates to Gemini make it seem like the bot is calling you up on your phone rather than you chatting with a cloud-based AI model.

People that have this upgrade are noticing the expanded language support, specifically “less common ones.” At the moment, you can manually set two out of 45 languages, or talk with a subset of some languages.However, the real indicator that you have this new Gemini Live is opening the profile menu > Gemini Apps Activity. The original Gemini Live just logs text transcripts, while this update includes the actual audio of your conversation. When Astra arrives, video and screenshares will also be saved here.
Google has yet to official detail this update, but Gemini 2.0 offers a a Multimodal Live API for developers that can process text, audio, and video input, while outputting text and audio

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 phone’s big launch feature was cross-app capabilities with Gemini. With a long press of the power button, you can perform simple actions like turning a text message into a calendar invite hands-free. However, in Gizmodo’s own tests, the AI features were far more mundane. The AI is less capable of handling more complex tasks. If you’re spending time checking the AI’s work, you may as well just perform the task yourself.
Previously, when you exited the Gemini Live on Android while running it in the background, this would appear as a simple notification with a button for users to “End Live mode.” On the new version of the app, Gemini Live appears as a call, with the option to “Hang Up” or put the AI on “Hold.” If you’re running the app from the lock screen, you’ll instead see a notification for “Live with Gemini” and a note the AI is “Listening.”
This is not yet widely rolled out. The one report of this rolling out is for a Pixel 9 Pro XL owner with Gemini Advanced. Given that the email notice was also sent to free Gemini users, there should eventually be wide availability. >>>>>New Huawei Google Nexus 6P H1511 H1512 Smartphone Battery 3550mAh – HB416683ECW
