With Gemini, we’re bringing the full power of Google AI to billions of Android users, all while ensuring privacy and security. AI is now embedded in every aspect of our technology, from the data center to the operating system and devices. The goal is for AI to seamlessly integrate into daily life, and the best way to experience this is on your Android phone.
By integrating Gemini into the heart of Android, we’re reinventing the operating system with AI at its core, transforming what phones are capable of. Read on to discover how we’re partnering with others to bring Gemini’s power to billions of Android users — while keeping privacy at the forefront.
New Gemini Features on Android
We’ve completely revamped the assistant experience with Gemini, enabling natural conversations just like talking to a person. Gemini understands your intent, tracks your thought process, and handles complex tasks. Deeply woven into the Android operating system, Gemini offers unprecedented capabilities.
Starting today, you can access Gemini’s overlay while using any app, allowing you to ask questions about what’s on your screen. For instance, you can retrieve specific details about a YouTube video you’re watching. You can even generate images from the overlay and easily drag them into apps like Gmail or Google Messages.
Beyond these built-in experiences, we’re also introducing Gemini Live. This feature allows you to chat with Gemini in real time, asking it to explore ideas, answer complex questions, or even help you brainstorm job possibilities suited to your qualifications. Gemini Live is rolling out today in English for Gemini Advanced subscribers on Android, with more languages coming soon.
Secure with Google
Security and privacy are key, no matter the task. With your consent, Gemini connects your personal data with the wealth of knowledge Google has organized to provide the assistance you need. For example, it can create a workout plan based on an email from your trainer or use your Google Drive resume to craft a professional bio.
Gemini’s all-in-one solution keeps your data secure, eliminating the need for third-party AI providers you might not trust. Plus, with Gemini Nano — the first on-device multimodal AI model on Android — your data stays on your phone for sensitive tasks. On devices like the Pixel 9, you can summarize phone call audio with Call Notes or manage images using Pixel Screenshots, all without sending data off the device.
Whether processed in the cloud or on-device, your data is safeguarded by Google’s secure, end-to-end architecture.
Built for Android’s Global Reach
Gemini is the most accessible AI assistant, available in 45 languages and over 200 countries and territories — and we’re expanding further. It’s compatible with hundreds of phone models from multiple manufacturers and adapts to Android’s diverse form factors, from traditional phones to foldables. For instance, on the Galaxy Z Fold6, Gemini supports multitasking with a split-screen setup, while on the motorola razr+, you can quickly check emails from the external display without opening your phone.
Even if you don’t have the latest flagship device, Gemini is designed to improve the performance of existing devices, ensuring that your Android phone continues to get better over time. Wherever you are or whatever you’re doing on Android, Gemini is just a touch away. On supported Samsung devices, swipe up from the corner to bring it up, and on Pixel and other supported devices, hold down the power button to activate Gemini.
