If you’ve been testing the different AI apps for your iPhone, you can probably include Gemini in your list.
Apparently, Google has quietly released the Gemini app in the country. The reddit, where it was first spotted, caused quite a stir when no one else but one user (assumed to be from the Philippines) could download it.
9to5google published a story and confirmed the Google Gemini app is not yet available in other countries. If you check the developer of the app, it quite clearly says Google.
This brings in the possibility that Google is testing the waters before a broader release. The app includes Gemini Live and will require access to your microphone.
The look of the app itself is similar to the web version. But that could change once Google begins a wider roll out.
