Google Tests New Audio Visualizer Design for Gemini Live
Android Authority spotted and manually enabled a Neural Expressive-inspired Gemini Live audio visualizer in Google app version 17.70.10.ve.arm64. The experimental interface replaces the pill-shaped visualizer with a circular button, animated dots, and a glowing blue background, but remains unfinished with visible glitches and no rollout timeline.
The preview shows Google exploring a more animated visual treatment for Gemini Live, although the change appears cosmetic and may never reach users.

TL;DR
- Google is testing a new Neural Expressive-inspired design for Gemini Live’s audio visualizer.
- The redesign replaces the familiar pill-shaped visualizer with a circular button surrounded by animated dots and a glowing blue background.
- The new UI is still in development and has noticeable visual glitches. We don’t know when it might roll out.
Google’s been putting in a lot of effort into making Gemini’s performance feel polished, and its latest test extends that to how Gemini looks — specifically the tool’s conversational Gemini Live assistant. Earlier this month, we gave you an early look at a Gemini Live redesign with a waveform animation and a dedicated button to mute Gemini’s voice responses. However, it now looks like Google could be heading in a different direction.
