Alphabet's Google on Thursday released a smartphone app for its artificial intelligence chatbot on Apple's App Store that introduced the latest generation of its voice assistant to the popular mobile operating system.

Google’s Gemini generative AI assistant has been made available via a dedicated app on the iPhone for the first time. Although Gemini can already be accessed on iPhones via the web, Google said the app will offer a “more streamlined Gemini experience”,

Gemini, which was named Bard up until earlier this year, officially landed as a standalone app on Android back in February. Now, only a few days after a stray report about a dedicated Gemini app landing on iOS did the rounds, the Mountain View, California-based tech giant has officially confirmed its launch.
