Google Tests Standalone Gemini App for iPhone with New 'Live' Feature

The app, spotted in the Philippines, could soon offer iPhone users direct access to Google's AI capabilities.

Google's standalone Gemini app for iPhone has been spotted in the Philippines, featuring the new Gemini Live voice chat capability.
The app allows users to engage with Google's AI directly from their home screen, bypassing the need to access it through the Google app.
Gemini Live offers real-time conversation features similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT, enhancing the AI interaction experience for iPhone users.
Currently, the app is not available in major markets like the U.S., suggesting Google is conducting limited regional testing before a wider release.
Google's Gemini app aims to intensify competition in the AI space, positioning itself against rivals like ChatGPT and Apple's own AI initiatives.
