Google is testing a standalone Gemini app, allowing iPhone users to directly access Gemini and Gemini Live. The app is now available on the App Store, but there is currently only one report indicating that users in the Philippines can download it.
The standalone app enables users to directly access Gemini from the home screen and provides the ability to access Gemini Live. Gemini Live is a voice experience that allows users to interact with Google AI.
Currently, the Gemini experience through the Google app on iPhone is equivalent to gemini.google.com, but Google has not yet updated the UI to match the Android experience. The introduction of the standalone app may allow Google to provide updates more quickly.
It is worth noting that the Google Gemini app is different from the Google Assistant, which is a separate app on Apple platforms.
