Gemini Live is now available for free to everyone.

However, it is necessary to have an Android phone.

Google announced that Gemini Live is now available for free to all users of the Gemini app in English. This service was initially introduced at the Pixel 9 launch event, but at that time it could only be used on Pixel 9 devices and required an advanced subscription to Gemini. In September, the company began rolling it out to a small group of Android users, and now it is accessible to everyone.

Gemini Live is a voice conversation feature of the Gemini smart assistant that allows users to interact in an unlimited conversational manner. This tool offers various voice options and is designed to better handle typical conversation features, such as pauses and interruptions. Additionally, it has the ability to retain context, meaning it will remember previous interactions, making subsequent conversations more meaningful.

Currently, the Gemini app is only available for Android devices, although the possibility of it coming to iOS in the future is not ruled out, as Apple’s Craig Federighi mentioned in June, suggesting that Gemini might “perhaps” be available on iOS alongside other models of artificial intelligence.
