- Currently, the intuitive conversation service “Gemini Live” requires unlocking the screen to use, but this requirement may soon be changed.
- Analysis of the app files from the Android “Google” app v17.24.27 update confirms that resource code has been added to support “Gemini Live” when the “Gemini on Lockscreen” setting is enabled.
- This suggests that if the “Gemini on Lockscreen” setting is turned ON in the Android “Gemini” app, users will be able to launch Gemini via the power button (or other shortcuts) and transition to “Gemini Live” without needing to unlock their device.
With the Android app for Google’s AI “Gemini,” if you enable the “Gemini on Lockscreen” setting, you can launch Gemini by long-pressing the power button and send voice commands directly.
On the other hand, the intuitive conversation service “Gemini Live” currently requires you to unlock your screen before it can be used. However, this requirement for unlocking the screen to use “Gemini Live” may be changed soon.

By analyzing the app files from the Android “Google” app v17.24.27 update, released on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, we confirmed that resource code related to “Gemini Live” support while the “Gemini on Lockscreen” setting is enabled has been added.
<string name="assistant_robin_conversation_mode_lockscreen_permission_hint_text_string">Turn on Gemini on Lockscreen to continue <b>Live</b> chats while your screen is locked.</string><string name="assistant_robin_conversation_mode_lockscreen_permission_hint_text_string">画面がロックされている場合に <b>Live</b> の会話を続けるには、[ロック画面で Gemini を使用] を ON にします。</string>This resource code suggests that if the “Gemini on Lockscreen” setting is turned ON in the Android “Gemini” app, it will be possible to launch the Gemini app—for instance, by long-pressing the power button—and transition to “Gemini Live” while the screen remains locked. While it is not yet possible to use “Gemini Live” without unlocking the screen, this specification may change in the future.
