Google Gemini is a new voice assistant that’s getting people talking. Many want to know if they can change its voice. Right now the options are limited. Google has added one new voice for Gemini but it only works on Android phones.
Changing Gemini’s voice is easy on Android. You just need to go into the app settings. Tap your profile picture then choose Settings. From there you can pick a different voice for Gemini to use. This lets you customize how Gemini sounds when it talks to you.
For iPhone users the news isn’t as good. Gemini doesn’t have voice options on iOS yet. Google might add this feature later. For now Android users have more choices. But all Gemini users can enjoy talking to this smart AI assistant no matter what voice it uses.
