Google Gemini’s latest update makes sharing images with the AI tool even faster

With a new change in the latest update, Google is working to make sharing images with Google Gemini even easier.

Google has made several improvements to Gemini over the last few months, as well as releasing Gemini Live to all users for free. This trend continues, with the latest update making it much easier to share images from other apps directly with the AI. This change, found in version Google Gemini v1.0.668480831, is available to every user by default, so long as they upgrade to the latest version. 

The video below, courtesy of Android Authority, shows how this new feature works. To send the image directly to Gemini, users only need to press the share button, bringing up the share sheet at the bottom of the screen. Once this screen has appeared a new Gemini icon has been added to share with the AI the same as they would if they were sending the image to a contact. Once the icon has been clicked users will be taken directly to the Gemini app, where they can ask any question they might have.

This isn't the only way to present an image to Google Gemini, as users can still attach images to the chat or use the "Ask about this screen" feature. 

There's no denying Google has been working to improve Gemini as much as it can. For example, Gemini Live allows you to have uninterrupted conversations with the AI and my colleague Richard Priday found a lot to praise about it when he spent 24 hours with Gemini Live
