• Following a soft launch in select regions, Google has now rolled out its dedicated Gemini app to US-based iPhone users.
• Prior to this release, iOS users were limited to the Gemini tab baked into the existing Google app, which lacks Gemini Live support.
• The new iPhone app supports Gemini Live, the Dynamic Island, purchasing premium memberships, and much more.

Unlike Apple, Google natively offers most of its consumer services on rivaling platforms. When it first launched the Gemini app on Android, however, it restricted iOS users to a secondary tab that lives in the official Google app. So, those interested in using the company’s AI had to deal with the bloated web browsing application. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case. Following a soft launch earlier this week, Google has now rolled out its standalone Gemini app to iPhone users in the United States.

As spotted by Android Authority, the official Gemini app is now available to iPhone users with US Apple App Store accounts. The search giant first released the app a few days ago in the Philippines, but it has now expanded its availability to more countries, including the US, Australia, Lebanon, and India — but seemingly not the UK.
