At Google I/O 2025, the company announced that Gemini Live Camera and Screen Sharing is rolling out to iPhone starting today. This means that you’ll be able to use your phone’s camera to live stream a feed to Gemini, and have a conversation about with the AI agent about what it sees. This feature has been available on Android for some time, but it’s coming to iPhone for the first time starting today.
This could be useful for many things, such as showing Gemini a video of something in your neighborhood and asking it to identify the item. In theory, you could ask it to identify cars, trees, or important landmarks in your neighborhood, or ask it general knowledge questions about historical landmarks while you’re on holiday. Unfortunately though, Google chose an unbelievably cringey video to demonstrate what the Gemini Live Camera can do.
It featured a person being deliberately obtuse and asking exceptionally…dumb…questions to the AI, presumably to demonstrate that Gemini isn’t a complete idiot (or, as Google said, that it’s not afraid to tell you when you’re wrong). They pointed the camera at a garbage truck while calling it a “convertible,” but Gemini was able to clarify that it was indeed, a garbage truck. They repeated the same routine by calling a light pole a “tall skinny building” and a shadow “someone following” them. If you were to only go by the demo to figure out the extent of Gemini Live’s Camera Sharing capabilities, it’d be pretty hard to know how it holds up to stress testing.
Fortunately, there are much better examples of what you can do with Gemini Live Camera on the Android blog. You can ask Gemini Live for advice on a color palette for your home, gift ideas, and much more. As long as the AI doesn’t hallucinate, this could a genuinely useful tool, since it also works with screen sharing, too. Just… don’t ask it if your shadow is a real person.
