Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini, which rivals ChatGPT, could soon be introduced as a standalone application for iPhone users. Observers in the Philippines have noted that the app has already been seen in the Apple App Store.

At present, iPhone users can utilize Gemini via the Google application, but a dedicated app would enhance the overall experience. Such an app would enable iOS users to engage with Google’s sophisticated AI more swiftly and directly, eliminating the need for extra navigation steps.

A notable feature of the Gemini iOS app, as revealed online, is *Gemini Live* — a voice chat function that provides real-time conversation abilities, akin to offerings from OpenAI’s ChatGPT. This particular feature is absent from the Gemini section of the Google app, making it a key highlight of the upcoming standalone application.

This initiative is part of Google’s larger strategy to establish Gemini as a pivotal and autonomous product within its AI framework, similar to Microsoft’s strategy with Copilot. Although Google has not yet officially addressed the reported sightings of the app, if this is indeed part of a testing phase, we may anticipate a broader launch of the Gemini app soon.
