Google has officially launched a dedicated Gemini app for iPad, replacing the previous iOS version that only ran in compatibility mode. The update introduces full iPadOS support, enabling split-screen multitasking and a range of AI-powered tools tailored for productivity and creativity.
Multitasking and powerful AI features
The Gemini app for iPad now works seamlessly with Split View, allowing users to run Gemini alongside other apps which is a major boost for multitasking and workflow flexibility. Google says the update brings “natural, free-flowing conversations in over 45 languages,” and unlocks advanced AI tools for users on the go.
Key features include:
- Gemini Live: Real-time conversations in 45+ languages.
- Deep Research: Quickly generate reports and gather data.
- Audio Overview: Understand and summarize audio files in multiple languages.
- Canvas: Collaboratively edit documents and code with AI support.
- Image and video generation: Create visual content directly from your ideas.
More than just a redesign
The app now includes support for home screen widgets and integration with Google Photos, making it easier to access Gemini’s AI capabilities directly from your iPad’s home screen or through your photo library.
One standout enhancement is the Audio Overview feature, which initially launched in English for Gemini Advanced subscribers. Following positive feedback, it’s now available in over 45 languages, vastly expanding its usefulness to users worldwide.
Available now
The dedicated Gemini app for iPad is now live on the App Store in all regions where Gemini is currently supported. This release follows the initial launch of Gemini for iOS in November and marks a significant improvement for iPad users seeking AI-enhanced productivity tools.
