Google expands Gemini Live's screen sharing, live camera feature to iPhone

Gemini Live's screen and camera sharing feature is rolling out gradually on the Gemini iOS app, and is expected to be available to all users in the coming days

Google Gemini’s screen and camera sharing feature is now rolling out to iPhones. As announced during Google I/O 2025, the Gemini app on iOS is receiving screen and camera sharing capabilities for the AI assistant’s conversational Live interface.

 

Previously available only on Android, these features allow users to share their device’s screen or camera feed in real time with the Gemini AI chatbot—enabling more interactive and visually aware conversations. 

  The rollout is gradual, and the features are expected to be available to all iOS users in the coming days.

 

Camera and screen sharing with Gemini Live: Details

Google said that the update transforms Gemini into a real-time problem solver. Using multimodal processing, Gemini can understand what’s on the screen or in the camera view and offer relevant, real-time help. 

  For example, users can show Gemini a landmark, a storefront, or a dish through their smartphone’s camera to get instant information. As the camera moves, Gemini updates its responses in real time. Similarly, while screen sharing, users can get help based on what’s displayed on their screen—such as websites, images, or documents.
