Google adds Gemini AI screen sharing feature for Android users

Google is bringing a new feature to its Gemini AI app on Android that lets users share their screens during a live conversation with the assistant. This option, called “Live,” is now starting to roll out and can help users get better, more personalized help.

With this update, Android users can let Gemini see what’s on their screen in real time. For example, if you’re shopping online, you can ask Gemini to help you compare products or find reviews. It can also help with tasks like changing settings, booking tickets, or understanding complicated information on websites.

The “Live” screen sharing option shows up as a button when you’re chatting with Gemini. If you tap it, you’ll be asked to permit to share your screen. Once enabled, Gemini can view your screen and guide you step-by-step. Google says this process is secure and respects your privacy.

This feature is now being tested and will roll out to more users soon. It works with the Gemini 1.5 Pro model on Android phones. Google is trying to make its AI more useful by letting it understand what’s happening on your screen and offer smarter help.

Overall, the feature could be very handy for those who want real-time support from Gemini without switching between apps or explaining everything manually.
