Google expands Search Live to US users
The tool is powered by Google’s Gemini chatbot and can keep running in the background while switching apps.
Google has expanded its Search Live feature to all app users in the US after several months of testing.
The tool allows people to hold voice conversations with AI Mode inside Google Search and even share a live camera feed. With this, the system can interpret surroundings, respond in real time, and suggest web links for deeper exploration.
The feature, powered by a customised version of Google’s Gemini chatbot, can run in the background while other apps are open. Google highlighted uses ranging from travel help to troubleshooting tasks.
Search Live is currently available only in English in the US. It can be enabled in the Google app by tapping the new Live icon or through Google Lens by selecting the Live button at the bottom of the screen.
