Google launched a dedicated app for its AI-powered assistant Gemini on iOS globally today. Until now, iOS users either had to use the Google app or mobile web to chat with Gemini.
The new Gemini iOS app supports 35 languages across the world. Plus, users can have a conversation with Gemini through its Gemini Live feature in 12 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, Arabic, Italian, Indonesian, Japanese, Turkish and Vietnamese. Google said it aims to introduce support for additional languages soon.
While some of the other features of Gemini, such as asking it, suggesting recipes, or seeking help for studies, were already available through the Google app and mobile web, Gemini Live is a new addition to the native iOS app.
What’s more, users can generate images through Google’s Imagen 3 model. In August, the company started allowing Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users to create images of people again after pausing the feature for months following criticism around model generating photos with historical inaccuracies.
Users can also use extensions to ask Gemini questions about your Gmail, Maps, YouTune, and Calendar.
