- The Gemini voice assistant app is now available for iPhones
- It offers the same features as on Android, including image generation
- The basic version of Gemini is available in Czech and Slovak
Google decided to take a rather revolutionary step and launched an application with the Gemini chatbot for iPhones with iOS 16 and later. The application is free and supports 35 world languages, including Czech and Slovak. But this is definitely not the first time that Gemini has looked at a competing platform.
Google Gemini on iPhone
Artificial intelligence on the iPhone is quite a hot topic. Although Apple directly has its own AI suite, it is called Apple Intelligence, but it is not available for users in the European Union (EU). Conversely, Google’s AI tool Gemini works normally in the EU, both on Android phones and iPhones.
As of Thursday, the Gemini app is available directly in the App Store on iOS. The application offers full access to the Gemini chat tool – you can ask it questions, reverse search for content from photos through it, have songs recognized or generate an image based on a given command.
As you know, Gemini works in 35 world languages, including Czech and Slovak. If you subscribe to the Google One AI Premium service, you also have access to the extended Gemini Advanced model, within which you can also use the Gemini Live voice model. However, it is only available in 10 world languages, such as English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and others.
This is not the first presence of artificial intelligence from Google on the iPhone. Since February, Gemini on iOS has been available to logged-in users through the Google app, just switch from search to AI assistant at the top.
The Google Gemini app is available for free on the App Store and is currently only available for iPhones, not iPads. The only download requirement is iOS 16 or later, the user must of course have a Google account.

Ah, gather ‘round, ladies and gentlemen, and let’s dive into the wonderful world of… drumroll, please! The Gemini voice assistant app now strutting its stuff on iPhones! Yes, folks, Google’s digital companion has decided that it wouldn’t be caught dead just hanging out with Android users anymore. “Why not share the love?” it whispered to itself in a sultry, synthetic voice.
### Google’s Bold Move: Gemini Invades iPhone Territory
So, let’s get into the details. Google has finally released the Gemini voice assistant app for iPhones! And I’m not just talking about any old iPhone. This beauty only plays nice with iOS 16 and above. Don’t worry if you’re still using an iPhone 8, though—this isn’t an AI horror movie where your phone’s voice assistant comes to life and haunts you for your poor upgrade choices. But can we take a moment to appreciate that the app supports 35 languages? C’mon, that’s more languages than most of us can count to in a pub quiz.
### Features Galore—including Image Generation
Now, you might think, “What’s special about another voice assistant?” Well, for starters, this app doesn’t skimp on features. You can chat to it like you would your least interesting friend at a party—except Gemini actually has something clever to say! You can reverse-search images, identify songs, and even create images on command. Who needs a date when you can express your deepest emotions through pixelated art?
And here’s a cheeky tidbit: if you’re willing to fork out for the Google One AI Premium service, you get access to expanded features, like the Gemini Live voice model. Just ten languages, mind you. So if you wanted to discuss existential philosophy in Zulu, you’re out of luck. (Why is it always existentialism, anyway? Can’t we just talk about sandwiches?)
### Europe, You’re in for a Treat!
Ah, the ever-so-complicated European Union. On one hand, you have Apple with its “Apple Intelligence” – ironically not available to EU users. Then you have Google, gallantly rolling out Gemini across the continent like a knight in shining armor—but with fewer horses and more algorithms.
For those of you wondering, you’ll need a Google account to set this puppy up. So, if your account was banned after that one questionable search you made back in 2015, now’s your chance to make amends. Just remember, the AI has a memory sharper than a sushi chef’s knife.
### Available Now—But Not for Everyone
Now, before you get too excited, let’s have a reality check. This app is currently only available for iPhones. Sorry, iPad users. It seems Google’s plan is to leave you in the digital dust for now. So unless you’re keen to play solitaire on one tiny screen while making phone calls on another, you may want to start contemplating that iPhone upgrade.
### In Summary…
To wrap it all up in a bow tighter than a cat in a cardboard box, Google’s Gemini app ushering its way onto iPhones is a fascinating development in the world of voice assistants. It’s offering a wealth of features while also setting the stage for a rivalry that could make the Olympic Games look like a friendly backyard barbecue. It’s bold, cheeky, and very much here to stay. Now let’s just hope it doesn’t ask us to “take a selfie” every five minutes, or else that might be the last free time we get back… unless, of course, it turns into a Picasso.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is your cheeky slice of tech news for today! Now go out there and ask your new digital BFF the burning questions of life. But remember: while it may know the answer to “What’s the meaning of life?”, it will not know when to switch off for a good night’s sleep. Cheers!

The integration of artificial intelligence on iPhones has stirred considerable interest.
