Google wants its artificial intelligence Gemini to be used everywhere, whether on its services and applications, on computers, on Android smartphones, and even on iPhone. It’s been a while since Gemini is available on iOS, in a special tab on the Google application. In November, the firm even launched an application specially designed for interactions with Gemini on iOS.
And obviously, it would like more iPhone users downloading the new application, instead of being satisfied with the Gemini tab of the Google application. To encourage this transition, the firm would remove this tab, forcing users of its AI on iOS to download the Gemini application. According to our 9TO5GOOGLE colleagues, the news was announced in an email sent by Google to its users.
“We make some changes to further improve the Gemini experience on iOS. Gemini is now available in the form of a separate application, and it is now the best place to use Gemini. To continue using Gemini, download the new Gemini application from the App Store. With the Gemini application, you will have access to all the same features and more ”we would read in this message.
An important app for some iPhone users
Although Apple has its own AI, it is only compatible with the models of the iPhone 16 series, the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. As a result, iPhone users incompatible with Apple Intelligence are more likely to turn to applications like Gemini or Chatgpt.
In addition, the Gemini application on iPhone allows you to take advantage of additional features, such as Gemini Live. As a reminder, this is a version of the AI with which the user can discuss in a fluid and natural way, as if he was chatting with a real person.
- First, Gemini was not accessible on iPhone on his web interface or on a tab in the Google application
- But in November, Google published an application dedicated to Gemini on the App Store
- And today, the firm pushes iPhone users to use this app instead of using the Gemini tab of the Google application
- The Gemini application may interest iPhone users who do not have access to Apple Intelligence
- And it allows access to more features, such as Gemini Live
