Gemini Live on your phone may soon be just a swipe away

• Google is testing a new swipe gesture within the Gemini app that allows for a faster and more direct way to launch the Gemini Live experience.


• The gesture lets you swipe left or right to switch between the standard text-based chat and the live, conversational interface.


• This feature is appearing for a limited number of users as part of a broader UI update that also adds a navigation drawer to the app.

Google’s Gemini chatbot can hold much more in-depth conversations than its old Google Assistant service, but the default way to access it can feel slow. Thankfully, Google offers a more conversational way to talk to Gemini called Gemini Live, which even lets you share your phone’s video feed or screen while chatting. The main issue with Gemini Live, however, is that it’s always one tap away — you have to hit a button after opening the mobile app, long-pressing the power button, or swiping from the corner.

Soon, you may not need that extra tap. Some users are reporting a new way to launch Gemini Live within the app: swiping left or right to switch between the regular text-based chat and the live experience. Here’s a video of this new in-app swipe gesture, courtesy of tipster Lord Reset on X:
