Google has transitioned its Gemini AI chatbot from the Google app to a dedicated Gemini app on iOS. This change takes effect immediately, requiring users to download the new app from the App Store to access Gemini’s features.
The Gemini app is free to download and offers a range of functionalities, including the new 2.0 Flash model, which competes with ChatGPT. Users can utilize Gemini for tasks such as organizing their schedules, creating AI-generated images, and accessing Gemini Live, a voice assistant.
Additionally, Google has introduced Deep Research, a model that analyzes data and generates reports, similar to ChatGPT’s capabilities. While the base app remains free, a subscription option called Gemini Advanced is available for $18.99/£18.99/AU$30, providing enhanced features and integration with other Google applications like Search, YouTube, Maps, and Gmail.
This move aims to streamline access to Google AI, making it more user-friendly. The Gemini app is designed to integrate seamlessly with iPhone features, enhancing the overall user experience. As AI technology evolves, Gemini positions itself as a leading chatbot option on iOS, particularly as Apple prepares to upgrade Siri in its upcoming iOS 18.4 release.
