Earlier, available through the Google app and web browsers, Gemini now offers iPhone users a dedicated platform to interact with its features, an ability that Android already possesses.
Gemini Live on iPhone
Google Gemini in iOS includes various AI capabilities such as a conversational AI experience and Gemini Live that allow users to have human-like conversations with the chatbot.
Gemini Live on the iOS app appears as a sparkle icon at the bottom-right corner, next to the microphone and camera icons.
The chatbot is available in 12 languages, including English, Spanish, French, and Hindi with plans to expand language support further.
However, to stay in line with ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode, users can personalise Gemini’s voice by choosing from 10 distinct options.
