Google Is Working on an Option to Disable Gemini Live’s Guided Vision…

Google is reportedly working on a setting to allow users to manually disable Gemini Live’s “Guided Vision” feature, according to a deep dive into code strings within the unreleased Google App for Android (version 17.38.5.sa.arm64). The hidden toggle, titled “Guided vision in Live,” was found in the backend, indicating a formal rollout is in development. Guided Vision, launched alongside the Pixel 10 series, allows the AI assistant to tap into a smartphone’s live camera feed or screen share during active voice sessions, mapping frames with tracking boxes, dynamic outlines, and contextual labels. The feature has introduced unexpected friction for some users, prompting Google to rethink its mandatory implementation due to sensory overload from bright tracking rectangles and labels. Disabling the toggle is expected to function as a “throwback” mode, allowing the camera to stream a clean video feed for conversational context without automated interface overlays. Standard phone users must wait for a subsequent public Google app update for the toggle to appear in account settings.
