Following the other big interface updates this month, Google is rolling out a small ‘plus’ redesign to Gemini Live on Android that lets you more easily add photos and files.
When you activate Gemini Live inside the app, you’ll notice a new ‘plus’ button at the left. Tapping brings up a familiar carousel with the following actions: Share screen, Photos, Files, and Drive. Previously, you first had to add items to the Gemini overlay and then go Live.
It’s now an extra step to share your screen, while the camera button has moved next to the waveform. There are no changes to the microphone mute switch or close button at the right.
The new plus menu is not currently available when you launch Live from the Gemini overlay.
We’re seeing this update live with Google app stable version 17.68. The plus menu is not yet available on iOS.
