iPhone users can now access Google Gemini app from their lock screen
Google Gemini users will now be able to access the AI chatbot directly from the lock screen of their iPhone, as reported by 9to5Google. The Gemini app has introduced six widgets that users can add to their lock screens, enabling them to type prompts directly, engage in conversations, set reminders using voice commands, use the camera, and share images or files seamlessly.
This latest update eliminates the need for users to unlock their iPhones before taking pictures with the camera and uploading them to Gemini for analysis or sharing files. The rollout of this update coincides with the revelation by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman that a fully revamped Siri experience is still years away for Apple.
App Store Rollout and Integration with Apple Intelligence
The new version of Google Gemini was officially released yesterday via the App Store. Additionally, recent reports indicate that Apple Intelligence is set to include Google Gemini as another option to ChatGPT. Google had previously launched a standalone app for Gemini back in November last year.
Published on March 5, 2025, this update represents a significant advancement in user experience for iPhone owners, offering a more seamless interaction with the Gemini AI chatbot directly from the lock screen.
