Overview

• APK teardowns from Android Authority and SamMobile found strings for a follow‑up conversation mode that keeps the watch microphone active after Gemini responds.
• On current builds, Gemini stops listening after each reply, forcing users to tap the mic again for every follow‑up question.
• The follow‑up mode is present only in code at this stage and is disabled in the released Gemini for Wear OS update.
• Teardown findings also reference a setting to disable voice responses entirely on compatible watches.
• The Wear OS changes land as Gemini expands to more devices, with recent support on smart TVs and a reported arrival on Nest and other Google Home speakers next week.
