How to use Gemini Live for free on your Android phone?
Google has launched Gemini Live for free to all Android users, but it may take some time for it to appear on your device, after it was only available to subscribers to the paid Gemini Advanced service. Now, you can talk to Gemini as if you were talking to your friend, as Gemini Live - a form of artificial intelligence - is distinguished by its ability to manage natural conversations. The beauty of it is that you can interrupt Gemini's responses at any time to add new comments or updates without any problems.
Gemini Live for Android Launched for Free
Last month, Google unveiled the Pixel 9 series along with several new AI-powered features. These included Pixel Studio and an improved Magic Eraser, as well as Gemini Live, Google's latest AI-powered feature that lets users have a natural conversation with Gemini.
Gemini Live is Google’s answer to OpenAI’s GPT-4, letting you talk to the AI assistant in a completely natural way, as if you were having a voice conversation between two people — or at least that’s the goal. Previously, this feature was only available to Gemini Advanced subscribers, for $20 per month, and was accessed by tapping the little “Live” button in the bottom right corner of the Gemini app. Now, Google has rolled out Gemini Live to all Android users for free.
This development that Google presented in Gemini Life is what it did before in Google Bard. Imagine that Google Bard was a smart robot, but he wanted to become smarter and stronger, so he decided to transform into a new and more advanced robot called Gemini. This transformation was similar to transforming a worm into a butterfly, as the shape, strength, and capabilities changed completely. Now, Gemini is able to understand things more deeply, speak in more smooth ways, and even create new and innovative things.
Simply put, Google Bard's transformation into Gemini is a huge step forward in the development of artificial intelligence, as we can now talk to robots that are smarter and understand our needs better. This development is like a big leap forward in the world of technology, just as the invention of the computer was a big leap in the past and now Gemini Live is another leap forward in the world of AI.
How to run Gemini Live
The new Gemini Live feature can be accessed by opening the Gemini app on your phone and tapping on the “new circular wave icon with the star icon in the bottom right corner” from the app or from the floating screen.
When you tap on the icon, a full-screen window will appear with “Hold” and “End” buttons at the bottom of the screen. Users can also exit the full-screen Gemini interface to continue using their phones while having a conversation with Gemini.
To stop Gemini Live, you can tap on the notification or simply say “stop.” When the conversation ends, Gemini will display a text with a summary of the commands it received during the conversation. All responses will also appear in a history section that can be used to continue the conversation.

Google Gemini Live Features
You can talk to Gemini Live as if you were talking to a real person and having a conversation with him face to face or at least on the phone, as the Gemini robot easily reacts to any modifications or changes in the requests you ask him without losing the context of the conversation. If you need to change the request or add new instructions, you can interrupt him at any time, add your comments and he will quickly adapt to the changes you make and provide you with an immediate and accurate response.
The service also offers you a personalized voice experience with a choice of 10 different voices like “Nova,” “Pegasus,” and “Capella,” adding a personal touch to the conversation. Currently, Gemini Live is only available in English, but Google is working on adding support for other languages soon.
You can access Gemini Live via the Gemini app available on Google Play, although it doesn't currently support integration with apps like Gmail or YouTube Music , Google plans to add these features in the future. However, when we checked some devices, Gemini Live wasn't available, suggesting that Google may be rolling out this new free feature gradually, so it may take some time for it to appear on your Android device.
