Google has expanded the reach of its Gemini app, an AI-driven chatbot, to more than 150 countries and territories, including India. Initially launched for Android users on February 8, the Gemini app has gained attention for its innovative features. The app is now accessible in English, Korean, and Japanese, catering to a diverse global audience.
The expansion aims to bring the power of AI-driven conversations to users worldwide. Notably, there is no dedicated Gemini app for iOS, but iPhone users can access Gemini through a toggle within the Google app, unlocking the chatbot’s capabilities.
To use the Gemini app on Android, users need a device with a minimum of 4GB of RAM and operating on Android 12 or later. Similarly, iPhone users with iOS 16 or later can interact with the chatbot through the Google app, activating the feature via a toggle in the top-right corner. Currently, the app supports English, Japanese, and Korean languages.
Gemini’s global rollout commenced recently and is expected to continue over the next few days, allowing users worldwide to seamlessly integrate the chatbot into their digital experiences. Users must be signed in to a personal Google Account or a Workspace account with the feature enabled by the administrator.
Addressing user concerns, Jack Krawczyk, Senior Director of Product at Google overseeing Gemini, mentioned that restrictions on image uploading and generation were being relaxed. He emphasized responsible alignment on refusals for both images and text. Additionally, Krawczyk acknowledged user feedback regarding clarity on the assistant’s capabilities over Google Assistant and assured improvements in communication on features in progress versus those already available.
