Google is making Gemini's personal avatars social. Users can now share their avatar with friends, tag each other in prompts, and create AI images and videos featuring everyone's digital likeness together, with character and voice consistency maintained across the content.

A Gemini avatar is built from recordings of your face and voice, made by scanning a QR code from the web app and following the phone setup. Once someone shares their avatar with you, you can tag them in a prompt the same way you tag your own.

Sharing is controlled and revocable: you invite people by Gmail address from the Avatar settings, they can accept or decline, and you can add or remove anyone's access at any time. The feature requires users to be at least 18 with a personal Google account, supports English, and is not available in the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the UK.
