Google is preparing to launch the Gemini AI as a standalone app for iOS users, potentially expanding its accessibility beyond Android devices. This move will enable Gemini AI support for Apple devices, including a customizable shortcut for quick access on iPhones.
Currently, Gemini support on iPhones is limited to the Google App, which lacks full integration with iOS. However, a recent sighting of the standalone Gemini app on the App Store suggests that exclusive access for Android may soon end.
Reports indicate that an iPhone user in the Philippines successfully downloaded the Gemini app, although it remains unavailable in other regions. The app is expected to feature an updated interface and several enhancements not found in the Android version, including a dedicated Gemini icon on the home screen and the Gemini Live feature.
The Gemini AI app will facilitate more dynamic conversations with the chatbot and introduce the Live Activity feature, allowing it to operate in the background while responding to voice commands or custom actions.
Currently in a testing phase, a broader rollout of the app may occur in the coming weeks, though details on compatible iPhone models and iOS versions remain unclear.
