Google's Gemini AI assistant might be getting its own app in the App Store soon. A Reddit user named "lostshenanigans" managed to download the app while in the Philippines and shared some screenshots in a post.
App Availability Issues
Other users attempting to download the app on iOS faced a message saying, "The app is currently not available in your country or region." This new app lets users add Gemini to their home screen for quicker access. Right now, Google only offers Gemini through its main Google app, which means users have to manually switch to the assistant by clicking on a special tab.
Features of the Gemini App
According to a report by Google9to5, the listing for the app in the Philippines also mentions a feature called Gemini Live. This feature allows users to have voice conversations with the assistant. Users can ask it to retrieve relevant information from connected services or apps. For instance, you can request it to show meeting details from an email in your account. This functionality isn't available in the Google app and would need a standalone Gemini app for Android users.
Recent Integrations
Recently, Google has added Gemini to Maps, Earth, and Waze, introducing new tools for urban planning, Smart Search with contextual results, enhanced route exploration, and more.
