Google has rolled out a dedicated iPadOS version of the Gemini app. The new iPad-optimised app will offer a fullscreen experience, supporting both landscape and portrait modes, a more spacious interface similar to the one found on Android tablets and the Gemini website.
Previously available Gemini app for iPads was essentially the iOS version, not fully optimised for large screens.
The upgrade not only improves the user interface but also brings practical enhancements.
The homescreen remains minimalist, while viewing chats are less cluttered. The Gemini Live interface is now also available in full screen, offering a two way, real-time voice chat ability. Notably, this dedicated app also allows split view multitasking on the iPad.
The new Gemini iPad app is now available for download on the App Store. It also introduces support for homescreen Gemini widget, integration with Google Photos, and various user interface improvements and bug fixes.
