Google brings Gemini app for iPads

Google has launched an iPad version of its AI app, which can be downloaded from the App Store. iPad users will no longer see a letterboxed version of the iPhone app with its tiny keyboard. The new app will be able to be used in split-screen mode alongside other apps. Users will also have access to Gemini Live for voice communication, Deep Research for information gathering, and Audio Overview.

All about the new Gemini iPad app

Previously available Gemini app for iPads was essentially the iOS version, not fully optimised for large screens. The upgrade not only improves the user interface but also brings practical enhancements.

The homescreen remains minimalist, while viewing chats are less cluttered. The Gemini Live interface is now also available in full screen, offering a two way, real-time voice chat ability. Notably, this dedicated app also allows split view multitasking on the iPad.

The new Gemini iPad app is now available for download on the App Store. It also introduces support for homescreen Gemini widget, integration with Google Photos, and various user interface improvements and bug fixes.

Additionally, Google app on iOS has received a new artificial intelligence-powered feature called ‘simplify’. The feature allows users to easily understand complex content filled with jargon. According to Google, Simplify uses AI to make dense text on a web page easier to interpret without redirecting the user to another page. This feature is aimed at helping users understand any technical topic with ease.
