Google improves the Gemini experience on the iPad with a native app
The iPad is finally getting a proper Gemini experience.
- Google just launched a standalone iPad app for Gemini that brings a full-screen experience.
- There was a Google Gemini app for iOS that launched in November 2024, but it was only designed for the iPhone and launched in letterboxed mode on iPad.
- The Gemini iPad app has the same UI as the Gemini app on Android tablets and on the web.
It feels like Google’s Gemini is putting in a lot of work these days, and it’s not just on Android or the web either. Google launched a standalone Gemini app on iOS last November, which was recently updated to include lock screen widgets for iPhone users. Now, Google has given iPad users another nice surprise.
Google has updated the Gemini iOS app to include an optimized, full-screen iPad version. Previously, the Gemini app could technically work on an iPad, but since it was designed for the iPhone, it would appear in letterboxed mode with blank spaces around it. It also used the smaller iPhone keyboard, leading to a subpar experience.
