Google recently revealed that Workspace users can now download the Gemini mobile app. The Gemini mobile app will be available to Google Workspace users on both iOS and Android devices as of right now.
In addition, Google declared that it will make the Gemini mobile app available to all Education users as an extra service and as a core service with a qualifying edition.
Workspace users on iOS and Android devices will be able to do research or discover fast answers while on the go with the Gemini mobile app. Additionally, they can make presentations of a chart that was drawn on a whiteboard and take images of handwritten notes with their phones’ cameras and export them to Google Docs or Gmail.
The bad news is that not every element of the Gemini app that is accessible online will be accessible to Google Workspace customers through the mobile app. For instance, Google Workspace users will not be able to access Workspace extensions, file upload, or Gems using the mobile app.
Furthermore, Work Profile is not supported by the Android version of the Gemini app. However, Gemini and other Google mobile apps on iOS will not be able to authenticate using your Google Workspace account.
To download the Gemini app for your smartphone, be sure to go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Note that the minimum supported version of the Gemini app that enables you to authenticate with your Google Workspace account is 15.42 if you already have an older version of the app installed on your Android smartphone.
According to Google, the new feature’s deployment has already begun and could take more than two weeks until all Google Workspace users can access it. In relation to that, the following list of Google Workspace subscriptions qualifies:
- Business Standard, Business Plus, and Business Starter
- Enterprise Plus, Enterprise Starter, and Enterprise Standard
- Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Essentials Plus, Frontline Starter, and Frontline Standard Essentials
- The version of Google Workspace for Nonprofits
- Education Plus, Education Standard, and Education Fundamentals
Additionally, you should have access to the Gemini mobile app if you have any of the following Google Workspace add-ons: Gemini Business, Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Education, and Gemini Education Premium.
