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.

Unlike Apple, which wants its AI to live on your device – one of the reasons its hardware requirements are so hefty – Gemini Live uses the cloud. That means it could potentially come to more iPhones than Apple's own AI. It was initially only available for Pixel 9 owners and required a subscription, but it's now free and available to all.

Google has rolled out a Google Gemini app for iPhone in some markets where it's testing it with Gemini Live support.

Google appears to be working on a new design for the Gemini floating overlay that makes it a little sleeker than before.

It is currently possible to access Gemini via the Google App, and it functions similarly to the web-based version. However, it appears that the iOS version has not yet updated the UI to match the Android app.

A standalone Google Gemini app should soon launch for iPhone and iPad. When it does, there's a least one new tool that should be available to these users.

Google may be getting ready to release a standalone Gemini app for iOS, allowing users to access Gemini Live from their Apple devices.

Google's AI chatbot Gemini is now accessible via a standalone iPhone app. The app is currently only available in the Philippines as Google irons out all the bugs. The app will bring Gemini Live to the iPhone and support Live Activity for continuous interaction.
