Fact check 

Yes, both the Android and Apple apps have the Live feature.
Here is the simple breakdown:
 * Google Gemini App: If you download the official Gemini app on your iPhone or Android, you can use Gemini Live (the real-time voice chat) right now.
 * Updated Siri (Spring 2026): With the new Apple/Google partnership just announced, Siri is being rebuilt using Gemini. When this update hits (expected March/April 2026), Siri will essentially gain "Live" capabilities, allowing you to talk to it naturally without restarting the conversation every time.
Bottom line: If you want the "Live" voice feature on an iPhone today, just download the Google Gemini app from the App Store.
Would you like me to show you where the "Live" button is located in the app?

Here’s what can be fact‑checked from current information:

===== ✅ Gemini Live exists on both Android and iPhone =====

✔ The standalone Google Gemini app is available on both Android and iOS.
✔ It supports Gemini Live, a real‑time voice conversation feature where you can talk and interrupt naturally, without restarting the chat, on both platforms. blog.google<ref>{{cite web|title=blog.google|url=https://blog.google/products/gemini/gemini-iphone-app/|publisher=blog.google|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

===== 🔄 Status on iPhone =====

✔ Gemini Live is in the iOS Gemini app now — iPhone users can use it for free‑flowing voice conversations and continue chats via widgets/lock screen, similar to Android. blog.google<ref>{{cite web|title=blog.google|url=https://blog.google/products/gemini/gemini-iphone-app/|publisher=blog.google|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>
⚠ There have been reports of inconsistent UI or rollout phasing for some users, which means the button/function can sometimes be hard to find or phased out temporarily in some updates. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com//r/GoogleGeminiAI/comments/1mxp9lt|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

===== 🔁 Siri integration timeline =====

✔ Apple and Google announced a partnership to let Apple use Google’s Gemini models to power future Siri and Apple Intelligence features. Reuters<ref>{{cite web|title=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/business/google-apple-enter-into-multi-year-ai-deal-gemini-models-2026-01-12/|publisher=reuters.com|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>
✔ Independent reports suggest Apple may start rolling this out around March/April 2026 via an iOS update, but this is not official from Apple yet. Android Central<ref>{{cite web|title=Android Central|url=https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/ai/googles-gemini-is-still-on-track-to-power-siri-on-iphone-next-year|publisher=Android Central|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>
⚠ There is no confirmed specific date or official Apple announcement saying “Siri will definitely have Gemini Live voice chat in March/April 2026.” That expectation comes from reporter predictions, not an Apple press release. Android Central<ref>{{cite web|title=Android Central|url=https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/ai/googles-gemini-is-still-on-track-to-power-siri-on-iphone-next-year|publisher=Android Central|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

===== 🧠 Summary of accuracy =====

True:
* Gemini Live voice chat feature exists today in the official Gemini app on both Android and iOS. blog.google<ref>{{cite web|title=blog.google|url=https://blog.google/products/gemini/gemini-iphone-app/|publisher=blog.google|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

Likely but not officially confirmed:
* Siri will gain similar real‑time conversational “Live” abilities when Apple integrates Gemini under the announced partnership, possibly around Spring 2026. Reuters<ref>{{cite web|title=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/business/google-apple-enter-into-multi-year-ai-deal-gemini-models-2026-01-12/|publisher=reuters.com|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

False/Unsupported:
* There’s no formal Apple statement yet specifying the exact timing or feature name (like “Gemini Live in Siri”) for that upcoming Siri upgrade.

If you want, I can outline exactly where the Live button is in the Gemini app on both Android and iPhone.

=== User: How about video live on both? ===
How about video live on both?

=== Assistant: Short answer: ===
Short answer:
**Yes — Gemini Live does support live video camera and screen sharing on many Android devices right now. iPhone (iOS) support is rolling out but has been inconsistent or delayed for some users. Android<ref>{{cite web|title=Android|url=https://www.android.com/articles/gemini-on-android/|publisher=android.com|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

===== 🔹 Android (current status) =====
'' Gemini Live lets you share your ''phone camera* in real time with the AI and talk about what it sees. This is live video, not just static image upload. Android<ref>{{cite web|title=Android|url=https://www.android.com/articles/gemini-on-android/|publisher=android.com|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>
* You can also share your screen while talking to Gemini, so the AI can respond to what’s happening on your display in real time. Android Central<ref>{{cite web|title=Android Central|url=https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/android-os/gemini-live-real-time-screen-sharing-now-available-to-all-android-users|publisher=Android Central|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>
* These camera + screen features have been rolling out to more Android devices over time and are now being made available to all Android users through the Gemini app (not strictly blocked behind a paid subscription anymore). Android Central<ref>{{cite web|title=Android Central|url=https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/android-os/gemini-live-real-time-screen-sharing-now-available-to-all-android-users|publisher=Android Central|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

===== 🔹 iPhone / iOS (status) =====
* Google announced a “Live View” / real‑time visual help feature for the Gemini app on iOS, letting Gemini see your camera or shared screen to provide real‑time feedback and context. MacRumors<ref>{{cite web|title=MacRumors|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2025/05/20/google-gemini-live-ios-app/|publisher=macrumors.com|date=2025-05-20|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>
* However, rollout on iOS has been uneven for many users: some report the camera/live video button not showing up yet, or the feature appearing slowly as it gets released in phases. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/GeminiAI/comments/1kycji0|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>
* That means on many iPhones you may already have video/live view support, but others may not see the UI yet until the phased rollout finishes.

===== 📌 What isn’t widely supported (as of now) =====
* Gemini Live does not yet fully support full two‑way video chat like Zoom/FaceTime — it’s about streaming camera or screen to the AI while you talk, not hosting video calls between people. Android<ref>{{cite web|title=Android|url=https://www.android.com/articles/gemini-on-android/|publisher=android.com|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>
* Uploading arbitrary video files for analysis is different from live video and is still being expanded; video file upload in prompts is separate and limited. 9to5Google<ref>{{cite web|title=9to5Google|url=https://9to5google.com/2025/06/19/gemini-app-video-upload/|publisher=9to5google.com|date=2025-06-19|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

===== 🧠 Bottom line =====
* Android: Live video camera + screen sharing with Gemini Live is rolling out broadly. Android Central<ref>{{cite web|title=Android Central|url=https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/android-os/gemini-live-real-time-screen-sharing-now-available-to-all-android-users|publisher=Android Central|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>
* iPhone: The live visual feed feature exists and is rolling out, but not everyone sees it yet and it varies by account/region/version. MacRumors<ref>{{cite web|title=MacRumors|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2025/05/20/google-gemini-live-ios-app/|publisher=macrumors.com|date=2025-05-20|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

If you want, tell me which phone model you’re using and I can give device‑specific details on where the live video/screen share controls are in the Gemini app.
