Google's Gemini artificial intelligence assistant is now available as a standalone iPhone app. The app became widely available on Wednesday after being spotted in some regions a few days ago.

Google launched a dedicated app for its AI-powered assistant Gemini on iOS globally today. Until now, iOS users either had to use the Google app or mobile web to chat with Gemini. The new Gemini iOS app supports 35 languages across the world.
