Google could soon say goodbye to current Gemini voices (APK teardown)
Key Points:
- A teardown of the Google app suggests that Gemini's current "legacy" voice options will be discontinued, as indicated by new strings found in the app code.
- Gemini currently offers 10 English-language voices, including male, female, and British accents, but these are expected to be removed without a clear timeline.
- It is speculated that Google will introduce new voice options, possibly allowing users to create custom AI-generated voices with adjustable features like range and accent.
- The official announcement and details about the replacement voices are likely to be revealed at Google I/O 2026, scheduled for May 19-20.
- APK teardowns provide insights into potential future features but do not guarantee that all predicted changes will be publicly released.
