iPhone 101: How to Use Google's AI Gemini Live Assistant
Since its introduction, iPhone users have accessed Google's AI assistant, Gemini, via the Google app for iOS. This is in contrast with Android, which boasts a fully functional Gemini app that also integrates Gemini Live. However, this is set to change as the iPhone is receiving a dedicated Gemini app.
It's unclear when the Gemini app, labeled Google Gemini, first appeared in the App Store. Over the weekend, several users were able to download the app (via 9to5Google).
I also managed to download and try it on the iPhone 15 Pro Max (review), and it works similarly to the Android version and Gemini web, though there are some differences, such as in the availability of extensions.
A Guide on Using Gemini Live on Your iPhone:
Some responses and answers from Gemini Live will also show up on Gemini's main screen after you exit Gemini Live. While you can't summon Gemini or Gemini Live via gestures (except via Shortcuts or Action Button) on the iPhone, the iOS app brings support to the dynamic island and lock screen.
Google is rolling out the Gemini app on the App Store, so it might not appear for some users initially. However, given that some users have already downloaded it, it will likely expand to a broader number of users very soon. There is no word yet on when Google will add extensions to support the Gemini app or which ones will be covered.
The dedicated Gemini app on the iPhone provides users with a powerful and interactive assistant option to the ChatGPT app.
