About this app

The Likeness (beta) app lets you create and use your Likeness—a realistic digital representation of your face and hand gestures. This allows others to see you authentically while you’re using an Android XR device for video calls, making your interactions feel natural and personal.

On your Android Phone: Create your Likeness
Use the app available for Android phones to scan your face. The guided process helps you capture your unique appearance in minutes to generate your high-quality Likeness.

On your Android XR device: Use your Likeness
Once created, your Likeness represents your facial expressions and hand gestures in real-time. You can use your Likeness to connect with others naturally in video conferencing apps like Google Meet, Zoom, Webex, or in any app that includes front-facing camera features, such as Tiktok or Snapchat.


Features:

Scan & Generate: Use your phone’s camera to capture the details that make you, you.

Real-time expressions: Your Likeness represents a wide range of facial expressions and hand gestures according to what you’re saying or doing.

Audio-based animation: For devices that don’t support face-tracking, Likeness now uses audio-based animation to analyze your speech and guide your avatar’s expressions.

Look your best: Fine-tune your appearance with tools to adjust brightness, temperature, and retouch settings.

Connect naturally: Show up in video calls looking just like yourself. Likeness is compatible with any app that can access your headset’s selfie camera.

Note:
- The Likeness (beta) app is available for select Android device models. See the full list of supported device models: http://support.google.com/android-xr/?p=likeness_devices
- An Android XR headset is required to use your Likeness in video calls.

Ratings and reviews

For some reason after I go through the steps it starts the uploading but keeps saying there was an error with my Internet or data. I tired doing this is two different phones (Galaxy S25U and ZFold 7) and I keep getting the same error. Both phones are using WiFi and connections are Excellent. I never have a WiFi issue so I not sure what the problem is.

It did not work I have an s24 ultra with gig and it just insisted that the internet connection wasn't good and it asked me to go through the process over and over again without any success

This is a ridiculous app considering that I have an S25 edge, and it says it's not compatible.Silly makes no sense at all.Why even have the app?If it's not compatible with all of the galaxy line.

What’s new

• Audio-based animation on XR glasses: For devices that don’t support face-tracking, Likeness now uses audio-based animation to analyze your speech in real-time—and not your actual facial movements—to guide your avatar’s expressions. Head direction still follows the orientation of your device.
• Improved scanning flow: Improvements to the Likeness creation and scanning process.
