If you’re interested in using Gemini on your Android phone, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll show you how to download the app, how to use its different features, and how you can even make it a Google Assistant replacement.

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.”

For the time being, the Gemini app is currently only available for Android phones in the U.S. and with the English language. We expect it to expand to additional countries and languages soon, but the timing for that is unclear.

Gemini is being added to the Google app on iOS “in the coming weeks.” It won’t be a dedicated Gemini app like the one above, but Google is adding the same Gemini functionality to its Google app for the iPhone.
