Google Gemini app may be coming to iPhone soon — here’s what we know
Gemini, Google’s AI chatbot and ChatGPT rival, could soon be breaking out on its own for iPhone users; some eagle-eyed Philippines-based individuals spotted the standalone app in the Apple App Store.
iPhone owners can access Gemini via the Google app, but a dedicated, standalone app would streamline things significantly, giving iOS users a faster, more direct connection to Google’s advanced AI — without the extra steps.
One of the standout features of the Gemini iOS app that was shared online is Gemini Live — a voice chat option that mirrors the real-time conversation capabilities seen in OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Unlike the Google app’s Gemini tab, which lacks this functionality, Gemini Live appears to be the primary attraction of the standalone app.
This move would align with Google’s broader push to make Gemini a more central, standalone product in its AI ecosystem, like Microsoft’s approach with Copilot. Google hasn’t commented on the app sightings yet, but if they’re in a testing phase, we could see Gemini rolling out to a wider audience soon.
