Google has announced that it will no longer support its AI assistant Gemini within the main Google app on iOS devices. Instead, users will be prompted to download the standalone Gemini app, which was launched late last year. This decision is likely an attempt by Google to directly compete with other consumer-facing AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. The Gemini app offers various features, including voice conversations, integration with other Google apps, and AI-powered summaries. However, this change may lead to a reduction in Gemini's user base, as some users may not be motivated to download a separate app. Google has alerted its customers to this change via email, reminding them that Gemini can still make mistakes and should be used with caution.
