Google is working on a feature for Gemini Live that would allow users to silence AI assistant conversations with just one tap. The new “Mute” button replaces the existing Pause/Hold option, making it easier to pause only the conversation without stopping the entire chat. This change will be beneficial for those who want to take a break from conversations without having to restart them entirely. Although it’s unclear if this feature will replace or coexist with the current Pause/Hold function, users can expect to see it in future updates, possibly as early as next few weeks.
