Gemini’s chatty voice mode is out now for free on Android

Google is rolling out its Gemini Live voice chat mode to all Android users for free. You can access the conversational AI chatbot on Android through the Gemini app or its overlay.

Google first announced Gemini Live during its Pixel 9 launch event last month, but it has only been available to Gemini Advanced subscribers until now. Similar to ChatGPT's voice chat feature, you can ask Gemini Live questions aloud and even interrupt it mid-sentence. There are also several different voices you can choose from.

As noted by 9to5Google, you can access the feature by selecting the new waveform icon in the bottom-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 "hold" Gemini's answer or "end" the conversation.

Gemini Live is only available in English for now, but Google says it will arrive on iOS and support new languages in the future.
