One of the most notable enhancements in recent updates revolves around Gemini Live’s notification system, which is evolving to resemble the persistent call-style notifications in standard Android phone calls. This change is expected to provide a more seamless and intuitive user experience by allowing users to manage their interactions with Gemini Live more efficiently. Previously, when users activated Gemini Live and then left the app, a simple notification labeled “Live with Gemini” appeared on their screen. This notification briefly explained the AI’s active status and included a button labeled “End Live mode.” However, this design had a significant limitation: tapping the button would immediately end the session, requiring users to relaunch the Gemini app to restart their conversation manually. To address this issue, Google has introduced a more advanced call-style notification system, which 9to5Google recently spotted in limited testing. This new interface closely mimics an active phone call by incorporating a larger, pill-shaped notification panel with buttons to “Hang up” or “Hold” the conversation. A dedicated status bar indicator, called a “call chip,” also appears whenever Gemini Live is active. This call chip includes a duration counter, which keeps running even when the conversation is on hold—an interesting behavior observed…Gemini Live notifications will soon mimic phone calls
