In the AI chatbot world, ubiquity is everything. Companies have raced to build desktop and mobile apps for their bots, in order to both give them new capabilities but also to make sure they’re right in front of your face as often as possible.

The Android app came out in February, but Apple users only got a limited integration within the main Google app, which doesn't have advanced capabilities such as Gemini Live.

Google has released its standalone Gemini app on iOS, giving iPhone users access to Gemini Live. Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, was already available on various devices, but now there is a dedicated app in the App Store that simplifies the use of Gemini on iPhones.
