Google recently announced that it’s finally rolling out its “Search Live” feature to more regions worldwide, specifically in languages and territories which support AI Mode. This allows users to initiate conversational interactions with Google Search when in AI mode, even when using their phone’s camera.
Search Live works by using Gemini 3.1 Flash Live within the backend, allowing for more natural-sounding conversations, in addition to multilingual support for users worldwide. Users can easily access Search Live via the Google app on their phone, and then by tapping on the “Live” icon under the search bar. Users can then ask questions out load (which will be followed by an audio response), and then carry on conversing with follow-up questions.
Meanwhile, opening the camera will allow users to point their phone and ask a question about anything involving the object in front of them; if you’re already using the camera with Google Lens, tapping the Live option on the screen will open up a real-time conversational session with Search.
Search Live was first unveiled last year for both Android and iOS users, although it was limited for the United States at the time.
