Gemini Voice Chat Mode Now Available for Free on Android

Google first announced Gemini Live during its Pixel 9 launch event last month, but until now it was only available to Gemini Advanced subscribers. Similar to ChatGPT’s voice chat feature, you can ask Gemini Live questions out loud, and even interrupt them mid-sentence. There are also a few different voices to choose from.

As he noticed 9to5Googleyou can access this feature by selecting the new waveform icon in the lower right corner of the app or overlay. This will turn on the microphone, allowing you to ask Gemini Live a question. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see options to “pause” Gemini’s response or “end” the conversation.

The Gemini Live app is currently only available in English, but Google says it will be available on iOS in the future and will support new languages.
