If you are interested in using Gemini on your phone, you have come to the right place. We will show you how to download the necessary apps, use its different features, and even make it a Google Assistant replacement for you. For mobile users, there is an official Google Gemini app available for both Android and iPhone. Here is how to use it on both platforms.

How to download the Google Gemini app on Android

To begin, you need to first download the Gemini app on your Android device. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Visit the Google Play Store on your phone.

Step 2: Search for the “Google Gemini app” in the store.

Step 3: Select the “Install” button next to the app’s name.

Step 4: Just like that, you have downloaded Google Gemini on your phone.

How to download Google Gemini on iPhone

There is no separate Google Gemini app in the App Store. Instead, you will need to download the Google app.

Step 1: First, go to the “App Store” on your phone.

Step 2: Search for the “Google” app and then “download it“.

How to use Google Gemini on Android and iOS

Once the Gemini or Google app is installed on your device, you can start using the tool. To begin using the app, regardless of the device, follow these instructions:

Step 1: First, open the “Gemini” or “Google” app, depending on your device.

Step 2: Next, follow any “Set-up directions” you may see on the screen.

Step 3: Start your first “Search“.

Step 4: As you perform different searches in Gemini, previous requests/questions will appear in the “Chats” section near the middle of the screen. To get started, perform these sample searches: “What’s the weather going to be like today in Miami,” or “Who do the Steelers play this week,” or “What’s 25 times 15.”

How to replace the Google Assistant with Gemini

After installing Gemini, you can have it replace Google Assistant whenever you say “Hey Google” or “OK Google”. Here’s how to change the setting so that Gemini is the one who answers you and not Google Assistant.

Please note: You can only replace Google Assistant with Google Gemini on Android-based devices at this time.

Step 1: In the Gemini app on your Android device, select your “Profile picture” at the top right.

Step 2: Next, select “Settings“.

Step 3: Choose “Digital assistants from Google“.

Step 4: Select “Gemini” as your default digital assistant.

Step 5: Repeat these steps and choose “Google Assistant” if you no longer want Gemini to answer to the commands “Hey Google” and “OK Google”.

How to change Gemini’s voice

You can currently change Gemini’s voice, but only on Android devices and only if you have a Google Gemini Advanced subscription. To do so:

Step 1: Open the “Google Gemini” app on your Android device.

Step 2: At the top, select your “Profile picture“.

Step 3: Select “Settings“.

Step 4: Select “Gemini’s voice“. Cycle through the current set of voices and stop on the one you wish to use. This list is growing, and for each voice you can hear a demo.

How to use Gemini Live

A Google Gemini Advanced subscription unlocks Gemini Live, a new conversational AI feature from Google that allows natural, free-flowing conversations with the Gemini AI assistant using your voice. Here’s how to use it:

Step 1: On your Android device, open the “Google Gemini” app. You can also say “Hey Google” to start.

Step 2: At the bottom, select the “Live” icon and follow the process to initialize the feature. Select “OK” to accept the terms.

Step 3: Start chatting.

Step 4: Select the “Hold button” to hold or *End button to end Google Gemini live.

Google Gemini is a work in progress, and the steps to activate the feature and use it are changing on a weekly basis. As changes are made, we will update this post.
