Google's Gemini artificial intelligence assistant is now available as a standalone iPhone app.
The app became widely available on Wednesday after being spotted in some regions a few days ago.
This is not to be confused with using Gemini in Google's Google app on iOS, although the experience is quite similar. The standalone Gemini app skips all the additional parts and just goes straight to Gemini, which you can ask questions in text or speech format. Additionally, you can attach a photo to your query.
Other options include Gemini Live, which turns Gemini into a far more conversational partner. This is a big one, as it's not available in the Google app, so it's probably going to be the primary reason to choose the standalone Gemini app over the Google app.

The app is a free download in Apple's App Store, but it does offer in-app purchases. That's if you want to upgrade to Gemini Advanced, which is a part of Google's One AI premium plan. For a $18.99 monthly fee, you'll get a more advanced Gemini model, access to Gemini in apps such as Gmail and Docs, and faster access to new and experimental features.
The app may not yet be available in all markets, but we did try a few big ones and it was there. This includes the U.S., the UK, and Australia.
