TL;DR

• Our APK teardown of the latest Google app beta revealed several features that are currently in testing.
• Search Live might be getting an “Interrupt Live responses” toggle, along with live captions.
• There’s also a potential new way to add AI Mode to your search, as well as tweaks to Gemini’s image markup tools.

Some updates to the Google app are pretty routine, but not this week. We’ve been digging around in the latest beta of the app (version 16.43.60.sa.arm64 beta) and by enabling some internal settings, we’ve spotted a few interesting features in testing. It looks like Google’s laying the groundwork for even more flexibility with its AI experiences, including a smoother way to use Search Live. We’ll run you through each of the three main changes we’ve spotted below.
