Google Gemini withdraws from the main search application on iOS

Google pulls AI Assistant Gemini from the main Google app for iOS. This step aims to encourage users to download the independent Gemini application instead, allowing Google to compete directly with other chat groups facing the consumer such as ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity. However, the change may also risk reducing the access of Gemini as the Google app is already used by millions, and many of them are not enthusiastic enough to download other new mobile phone applications.

The technology giant has alerted customers to change via an e -mail cautious that “Gemini is no longer available in Google.”

Email suggested that anyone who wants to use Gemini on iOS download the Gemini app from the application store. This application It was launched for iOS users all over the world Late last year, but so far, Gemini continued to be available in the main Google app as well.

With Gemini for iOS, people will be able to participate in audio conversations with AI’s assistant through Gemini Live; Connect Google applications such as Search, YouTube, MAPS and Gmail to Gemini; Ask questions and explore topics; Planning trips Get artificial intelligence summaries and deep diving. Create pictures; And more. Users can interact with Gemini through text, sound, or using the camera.

Email also reminds users that Gemini can still make mistakes, so users must continue Double Verification Their responses.

Customers who want to upgrade to a paid subscription that provides access to Gemini Advanced can do this through the iOS application, where the Google One Ai Premium plan is presented as a purchase inside the app.

If the iOS customer tries to access Gemini through the main Google app, they will appear for a full message on the screen saying “GEMINI now has its own application” and links to download the application store.

It is a risky bet on the side of Google to try to push users to download an application instead of continuing to provide jobs within the application already on their phones. Although it may be easy to launch new AI features quickly, it is likely that there is also some decrease in the use of Gemini because some do not definitely make the key.
