Gemini App on iOS

A Reddit user with the username u/lostshenanigans posted on the Bard subreddit claiming that the Gemini app for iPhone has been released. Subsequently, the user also posted a couple of screenshots showcasing the app as well as the URL for its App Store listing. However, others reported that the app was showing unavailable for their location. Notably, the user resides in the Philippines.

Gadgets 360 staff members were also not able to access the app, but as per the Redditor, the app listing can be accessed here. It appears that Google is running a limited test run of the iOS app in Gemini. Alternatively, since only one claim of the app's presence has been found so far, there is a possibility of the report being wrong. However, nothing can be said with certainty unless Google makes an announcement about the iOS version of the Gemini app.

Notably, in the screenshots shared by the Reddit user, the Gemini Live feature was also visible, which could mean that the Mountain View-based tech giant plans to launch the Gemini app for iPhone with this capability.

The Gemini app for Android is powered by the Gemini 1.5 Flash large language model (LLM) for the free tier and the Gemini 1.5 Pro for those who have opted for the paid subscription. The Gemini app can have a conversation with users, write essays, search the web, as well as offer recommendations on a wide range of topics. With its multimodal capability, it can also generate images. Users also get the hands-free voice conversation experience with Gemini Live.
