Introduction to Google Gemini on iPhones
A standalone Google Gemini app has been spotted on iOS, allowing users to access Gemini Live. Previously, iPhone and iOS users could only access Gemini through the Google app, where the chatbot is embedded. However, Apple seems to be gearing up to launch the Gemini app as a separate download in the App Store, providing users with a more direct way to leverage its AI-powered features.

They also provided an official App Store download link for the app, although it is not yet available in the US. The user who successfully downloaded Gemini on their iPhone resides in the Philippines. As of now, there have been no further reports regarding the app’s availability.
