Google has confirmed that its annual developer conference, Google I/O 2025, will take place on May 20 and 21. The Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, will host the tech giant's yearly event. For the event, which will take place both offline and online through live streams, Google has opened registration.

During the event, announcements about Android 16 and Gemini are anticipated.
Google I/O 2025: What to expect
The tech behemoth from Mountain View confirmed in a blog post that Google I/O 2025 will take place over two days, on Tuesday, May 20, and Wednesday, May 21. Additionally, the company has created a microsite for the event that includes information about the conference, a countdown clock, and a direct registration link.
Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai typically opens the event with a keynote address, outlining the key software and product releases for the upcoming year. It is anticipated that the keynote address will begin at 10 a.m. PT (11:30 p.m. IST).
Pichai's keynote address might heavily highlight new features in Android 16. With a new Gemini 2.0 AI model anticipated to be released, Google may also concentrate on its native AI chatbot, Gemini. The business unveiled the Gemini 1.5 Pro model with a two million token context window last year.
The website also showcases open-source Gemma models, Google AI Studio, and NotebookLM, which may receive updates at the event. There is currently no other information available.
The Android 16 Beta 1 update was recently released by the company to Google Pixel devices that are compatible. A new Live Updates feature, which displays the status of ongoing tasks like Google Maps navigation or food delivery apps, was added in the update. Apple's Live Activities feature is comparable to this.
Additionally, when utilizing the three-button navigation mode, Android 16 will add a predictive back animation to the back button. Previously, this could only be accessed through gesture-based navigation when a user made the back and hold gesture.
