Google has launched a dedicated Gemini app for iPad. This version is not a simple iPhone port, instead, it is optimized for iPadOS, and it offers better performance and usability.
Previously, users ran the iPhone version in compatibility mode. That solution worked, but it felt limited. Now, the native app provides a more refined experience.
What the New App Is All About
The Gemini app includes several advanced features that are now available on iPad in all regions where Gemini is supported. These tools aim to help users save time, stay productive, and create with ease.
| Feature | Description |
| Gemini Live | Speak in over 45 languages through natural, real-time conversations. |
| Deep Research | Gather information and create summaries in seconds. |
| Audio Overview | Analyze and understand audio files quickly. |
| Canvas | Work with AI to draft documents and code collaboratively. |
| Image/Video Gen | Generate high-quality visuals directly on the iPad. |
Enhanced Multitasking with Split View
Gemini now supports Split View on iPad. This allows users to place Gemini next to other apps, without switching between screens.
For example, a student can write a paper while Gemini helps summarize sources. A marketer can generate visuals while working in a presentation app. This smooth interaction boosts productivity.
Audio Overview Now Supports 45+ Languages
Google first launched Audio Overview in English, and after the tool received positive feedback, it now supports more than 45 languages.
This update will let anyone access audio summaries in their preferred language.
Create Images and Videos with Ease
The app also helps users bring ideas to life visually. You can now ask Gemini to generate custom images or short videos on demand, and Gemini will produce results directly on the iPad.
Additional Features Designed for iPad
The updated app includes more enhancements:
- Homescreen Widget: Launch Gemini directly from the home screen.
- Google Photos Access: Use your photo library for image-related tasks.
