Google Search Live rolls out to US users — real-time, camera-powered AI search

Google has started rolling out Search Live for Google app users in the United States. The feature enables real-time, multimodal search by combining AI Mode with your phone camera — allowing Search to see what you’re pointing at and provide contextual info, links, and live guidance.

How to access

• Open the Google app and tap the new “Live” icon beneath the search bar.
• Or open Google Lens and select the Live option at the bottom of the screen.
• Camera sharing is enabled by default so you can have an instant back-and-forth conversation with Search.

Availability & limitations

• Available now on the Google app for iOS and Android in the United States.
• Currently supports English only.
• Part of Google’s evolving AI Mode; features and device support may expand over time.
