Overview

• Search Live is available now in English to all U.S. users in the Google app on Android and iOS, with a new Live button under the search bar.
• The feature is also accessible from Google Lens via a Live option, and it no longer requires a Labs opt-in or payment to use the core experience.
• Users can hold a voice conversation in AI Mode and share a live camera feed so Search can see what the camera sees, respond in real time, and surface relevant web links.
• Google confirmed India as one of the first markets to receive the rollout after the U.S.
• Deeper, research-focused responses will tap Gemini 2.5 Pro through a forthcoming deep search option that requires a signed-in Google AI Pro subscription for some capabilities.
