Google has been actively enhancing its AI-powered assistant, Gemini, releasing numerous updates and features recently. With the Google I/O event approaching, excitement is mounting for significant AI announcements. Meanwhile, iPad users are in for a special treat as Google has launched a version of the Gemini app tailored specifically for their devices. The Gemini assistant debuted on iOS devices back in November 2024, introducing Apple users to its advanced capabilities.

While Android users have experienced seamless integration of Gemini into their operating system, effectively replacing the traditional Google Assistant, iPhone users relied on the standalone app to access most features. Unfortunately, the experience on iPads was less than ideal due to the lack of optimization for the larger screen. The previous iPhone app did not fully utilize the iPad’s potential, as it was designed for a smaller interface. A significant limitation was the use of the compact iOS keyboard, which made it cumbersome to interact with Gemini on an iPad.

As a result, many iPad users preferred accessing Gemini through web browsers. Fortunately, Google has now addressed these concerns with the official launch of the Gemini app tailored for iPads. This new version is designed to fully leverage the larger screens of iPads in both portrait and landscape orientations. The user interface takes cues from the web version, providing an improved user experience.

Consequently, reading through chats and utilizing features like Gemini Live will feel more intuitive and comfortable on the dedicated app. The Gemini app for iPads is now available for download from the Apple App Store. iPad users looking for a more optimized experience with Gemini can now enjoy the app. In addition, the Gemini app has recently introduced lock screen widgets for iOS devices and plans to incorporate advanced memory and learning capabilities, enhancing its personalization features even further.
