Google has officially launched a dedicated app for its AI-powered assistant, Gemini, which is now available globally on iOS. Previously, iPhone users could only interact with Gemini through the Google app or mobile web, but this new standalone app enhances accessibility and functionality.

The Gemini iOS app supports text-based prompts in 35 languages and introduces the Gemini Live feature, allowing users to engage in conversations in 12 languages, including English, Spanish, French, and Hindi. Google plans to expand language support in the future.
While features like recipe suggestions and study assistance were already accessible via the Google app, Gemini Live offers a unique conversational experience that was not previously available on iOS. Users can also generate images using Google’s Imagen 3 model. After temporarily pausing this feature due to concerns about historical inaccuracies, Google has resumed allowing Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users to create images of people.
Additionally, the app integrates with other Google services such as Gmail, Maps, YouTube, and Calendar through extensions, enabling users to ask Gemini questions related to their accounts.

The Gemini Android app was launched earlier this year in February, initially in the U.S. and later expanding to countries like Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, and the U.K. By June, it also became available in India and other South Asian countries with support for nine local languages.
Notably, Apple is also integrating ChatGPT with Siri in its upcoming iOS 18.2 public beta. This suggests that competition in the AI assistant space is heating up as both companies enhance their offerings.
With the launch of the Gemini app on iOS, Google aims to provide a robust AI assistant experience that rivals existing solutions while continuing to innovate in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.
