Screen and camera sharing in Gemini Live is heading to all Android and iOS devices

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.

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.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/screen-and-camera-sharing-in-gemini-live-is-heading-to-all-android-and-ios-devices-174547592.html?src=rss
