A major Gemini UI redesign just started rolling out earlier this month, and now, it looks like Google is also giving Gemini Live a weird new trick.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.75em auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/innovatenews.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-57.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;width:auto;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">As spotted by @testingcatalog on X, Google seems to be rolling out a new interactive bar UI for Gemini Live. This essentially converts Gemini Live into a pill-shaped bar that reportedly reacts to your taps and also waves back at you. See for yourself:<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">It doesn\u2019t look like this new Gemini Live experience is rolling out widely just yet. We checked the Gemini app across different Google accounts on both Android and iOS and didn\u2019t see the new bar UI. The tipster also notes that they only got the new UI on one out of 10 accounts, so it looks like Google may be rolling it out slowly or simply testing it for now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Thank you for being part of our community.
