Google launches Gemini AI app for iPhones: Here’s how it will enhance user experience

After launching the Gemini AI app for Android phones several months ago, Google has now unveiled it for iPhones. Notably, the development comes after Apple introduced ChatGPT integration for iPhones in its iOS 18.2 beta, sparking speculations regarding Apple’s potential ChatGPT integration into Siri next month.

Announcing the Gemini AI app for iPhones, Google stated in a blog post, “Now, you’ll be able to have easy access to Google’s personal AI assistant, right on your iPhone, free of charge.” The app is now available for download by iPhone users. 

Google says, “Gemini can help use write the perfect email or text, create stunning images, and brainstorm fun new ideas.” It also enhances learning, making it easier for students to ask questions on any subject. Google adds, “Gemini can also provide custom, step-by-step guidance that adapts to your learning style, and you can even test your knowledge with quizzes.” 

iPhone users can now interact with Gemini in a conventional manner, allowing them to interrupt, ask questions, or change topics seamlessly. Users can also personalise Gemini’s voice with 10 distinct voice options. Currently, Gemini’s Live can be accessed in 10 languages by iPhone users. Additionally, users can also have access to Imagen 3, which is Google’s image generation model. It assists users by transforming text descriptions into AI images. 

Highlighting Gemini’s compatibility with Google’s apps and services, Google says, “With Extensions, Gemini can find and show you relevant information from the Google apps you use every day like YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail, Calendar and more — all within a single conversation.” 

The app includes features such as intelligent searches, live voice conversations, and integration with Google's services. These features make it a compelling tool for those looking to enhance productivity or explore the possibilities of conversational AI.

With Google continuing to refine its AI capabilities, iPhone users are likely to get even more sophisticated features in future updates.
