This feature, which can optionally include photos, will be available on Android 16 and newer. Additionally, Android 17 devices will receive a "Motion Assist" feature designed to reduce motion sickness with a customizable screen overlay, and devices running Android 9 or newer will gain "Guided Vision" for visually impaired users, enabling Gemini Live to describe surroundings and read labels.
