GoKawiilGoogle tests circular audio visualizer design for Gemini Live
Android Authority uncovered a new Gemini Live interface hidden in version 17.70.10.ve.arm64 of the Google app, replacing the current pill-shaped audio visualizer with a circular button surrounded by animated dots and a glowing blue background. The design appears to extend Google's previously spotted 'Neural Expressive' visual style, which features gradients and animated elements, into the Gemini Live voice assistant. The feature is still under development, showing visual glitches, and Google has not indicated a rollout timeline.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The change suggests Google is working to unify visual branding across Gemini's various interfaces, potentially making the assistant feel more cohesive and modern as competition in AI assistants intensifies. Because the feature is unreleased and glitchy, it may not reflect Google's final design decision, and the company could still test alternative looks, as seen in an earlier spotted redesign with a waveform animation.
- Google is testing a circular, dot-animated visualizer for Gemini Live, replacing the current pill shape.
- The redesign reflects Google's broader 'Neural Expressive' design language already seen elsewhere in the Gemini app.
- The feature remains unfinished, with visual bugs, and no public release date has been confirmed.
