New Gemin Live Design Makes Adding Context to Conversations Easier

Google has launched a new and distinctive update for the Gemini application interface, bringing a revamped design to Gemini Live that introduces an easier and more flexible way to attach images and share files directly during live voice conversations on Android devices, elevating the smart user experience.

  • ✨ Addition of a new "plus" button allowing quick access to screen sharing, photos, files, and Google Drive.
  • ✨ Rearrangement of buttons such as the camera button, which has moved next to the audio wave for easier control.
  • ✨ The update is currently available with stable version 17.68 of the Google app on the Android operating system.
  • ✨ The new feature has not yet been rolled out to iOS-powered devices.

Enhanced User Experience with the New Additions Menu

Following the major user interface updates this month, Google is rolling out a new "plus" button in Gemini Live on Android devices. When activating the feature inside the app, users will notice a new plus button on the left side, which, when tapped, reveals a familiar menu containing options for screen sharing, photos, files, and Google Drive.

Previously, adding elements required adding them first to the Gemini popup window and then switching to the live mode, whereas users can now access them with much greater flexibility. Although screen sharing now requires an extra step, the camera button has moved right next to the audio wave, while the microphone mute switch and close button remain in their usual places.
