Last month, Gemini Live camera and screen sharing became available on Pixel phones as part of Google's April feature drop. But today, at Google I/O 2025, the company announced that it's bringing that capability to all compatible Android and iOS devices as part of a free update.
Available inside the Gemini app, the ability to share your phone's camera or content from your screen with Google's AI is meant to make it easier and more natural to get answers about complex topics. For example, instead of describing a situation only using your voice, you could simply point your handset's camera at something while Gemini uses object recognition to analyze the scene and do things like identify a particular species of animal or tell you want kind of screw or bolt you might need to perform a repair.
While Google doesn't have a concrete timeline for when these features will land on your device, the company says that "in the coming weeks," Gemini Live will get deeper integration with some of its other apps including Google Maps, Calendar, Tasks, Keep and more. The idea is that when you ask a question, Gemini will have more pertinent info to pull from so it can come up with more relevant and useful replies. Thankfully, for anyone concerned about data privacy, Google says these app connections can be easily managed inside the Gemini app and that users can adjust their settings at any time.
With Google's continued push into AI and the expansion of Gemini's abilities, it was only a matter of time before camera and screen sharing arrived on non-Pixel devices. That said, with the feature having just become available on first-party phones last month, it's nice to see that there won't be a huge wait for more folks to get access to these features.
