At 4:05 PM ET, shortly following the initial publication of this report, Google issued a correction. The firm informed Engadget via statement that Search Live has not yet extended to users worldwide. It continues to operate in the United States and India, while evaluations proceed in other regions. The company expressed regret over the prior inaccurate information.
Although Google indicates ongoing trials in extra areas, a full international deployment of Search Live could occur in the near future. However, it is currently suspended.
Google introduced Search Live to every U.S. user of its mobile app back in September. The company is now extending the capability to all locations supporting its AI Mode conversational tool. For context, Search Live enables users to direct their device's camera toward an item or environment and pose inquiries regarding the visible elements. The functionality first appeared at the 2025 I/O conference prior to its gradual distribution to the public. This latest broadening makes Search Live accessible across over 200 nations and areas.
Furthermore, Google has enhanced the tool by integrating its Gemini 3.1 Flash AI model, which the developer claims will foster smoother dialogues along with improved speed and dependability. This version inherently supports multiple languages. Users can engage Search Live via the Google application on both Android and iOS platforms by selecting the 'Live' option beneath the search field. Alternatively, it is reachable through Google Lens, where the 'Live' symbol appears close to the screen's lower edge to initiate interaction.
