iPhone users can now download the standalone Gemini AI app for free from the App Store.
After a limited integration of Gemini AI into its main app, Google has now released a dedicated chatbot app for iPhone users. This app offers a significantly improved experience with advanced features, including support for Gemini Live and exclusive iOS features such as integration with Dynamic Island.
The new Gemini app allows iPhone users to interact with Google’s AI through text or voice commands, and it is compatible with Gemini plugins. Gemini Live is another key feature of the iOS version of the AI chatbot. When engaging in a conversation with Gemini, Gemini Live appears in the Dynamic Island and on the lock screen, enabling users to manage their interactions with the AI without needing to return to the main app.
The standalone Gemini app for iPhone is available for free, with premium features offered through a Gemini Pro subscription via in-app purchases. Gemini Pro is part of Google’s premium AI program, Google One, and is available for a monthly fee of $19.
Additional features of the service include integration of Gemini into Gmail, Docs, and other Google services, access to the more advanced Gemini 1.5 Pro model, early access to new features, and support for up to one million tokens as input commands.
The official release of the Gemini app for iPhone comes after its initial limited launch in the Philippines, and it is now available to users in other regions, including Australia, India, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Previously, iOS users could only access the Gemini chatbot through a dedicated tab in the main Google app, which had more limitations compared to the Android version.
