TL;DR
- Gemini Live can hear its own voice on some Google Home devices, causing it to interrupt itself and get stuck in a loop.
- Users have reported crashes, repeated responses, and Gemini creating duplicate timers after hearing its own confirmation.
- Google has acknowledged the bug and is rolling out improvements, although it hasn’t provided a completion timeline.
Earlier this year, some Android Auto users watched Gemini Live hear its own voice and spiral into a conversation with itself. In-car audio setups emerged as a possible culprit, but similar behavior is now surfacing on some Google Home devices. The good news? Google has now acknowledged the bug and says improvements are rolling out.
The issue surfaced on Reddit after a Google Home user said Gemini Live had become unusable. Responding last Friday, the official Google Nest Community account confirmed that Live Mode was interrupting itself on some devices and said improvements were rolling out.
