TL;DR<\/p>\n
Ever wished you could just throw an MP3 at Gemini<\/a> and have it explain what it\u2019s about? That might be coming soon, as we\u2019ve spotted early signs of audio file support in the Gemini app for Android.<\/p>\n \u26a0\ufe0f<\/strong> An APK teardown<\/b> helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n In version 16.30.59.sa.arm64 of the Google app beta, we managed to activate a new file attachment feature when chatting with Gemini. You can now attach audio files like MP3s, and when you do, Gemini shows a new suggestion: \u201cTalk live about this.\u201d That sounds promising, but it doesn\u2019t actually work yet.<\/p>\n After uploading an audio file, you can either type a regular question or choose to \u201ctalk live\u201d about it. In both cases, Gemini doesn\u2019t seem to understand or respond to the file in any meaningful way. Sometimes it ignores the audio entirely. Other times, it confidently makes things up, as seen in the third screenshot below, but chatbot hallucinations aren\u2019t exclusive to audio files or Gemini.<\/p>\n Still, it\u2019s not hard to see where this is going. On the developer side, Gemini already supports audio<\/a> input through the API. You can feed it audio and ask it to describe what it hears, summarize it, or transcribe what\u2019s being said. It even handles timestamp requests like \u201cfrom 2:30 to 3:29,\u201d and works with formats like MP3, WAV, and FLAC.<\/p>\n That\u2019s likely what Google is building toward on the Android app \u2014 we\u2019re just not there yet. For now, it\u2019s more like a placeholder than a finished feature, and there\u2019s also no guarantee when or if it will launch. However, with image uploads now widely available in the Gemini app, audio support seems like a logical next step.<\/p>\n
