Google has officially launched its Gemini app for iOS, bringing a versatile AI assistant to iPhone users. This dedicated app expands on the AI features previously available in the Gemini section of the Google app, offering enhanced accessibility and functionality through voice, text, and even the camera.
Google Gemini App Now on iOS
A standout feature of the new app is Gemini Live, a real-time voice chat experience with Google’s AI assistant. This allows users to engage in natural, on-the-go conversations, making it a convenient tool for quick questions, navigation, or brainstorming sessions.
For users of the iPhone 15 Pro and upcoming iPhone 16 series, the Gemini app can be assigned to the Action Button. This integration enables quick searches or seamless interactions with the assistant, providing a user-friendly shortcut for those with compatible devices.
Limitations and Cross-App Integration
Like other third-party AI assistants on iOS, Google Gemini cannot control native apps or settings on your iPhone. However, it excels in its integration with the Google ecosystem, allowing smooth access to data across apps such as Google Maps, Gmail, Drive, and YouTube.
Pokdepinion: While it can’t yet rival Siri’s deep integration with iOS, its ability to leverage Google’s robust app suite offers a compelling alternative for iPhone users seeking enhanced productivity.
