- The Gemini app now supports iPad’s greater resolution
- Gemini joins chatgpt with a built -in iPad -App
- Still no support for pixel-only screen sharing or camera control features
As Apple is currently failing to get an AI-driven version of Siri out of the starting blocks, Mac, iPhone and iPad users have had to look elsewhere to get their AI-FIX and their needs are well met by Gemini and Chatgpt.
Both have released apps for iOS, but Chatgpt has gone even further and offers both a Mac app and a proper iPad version of the iOS app.
Now Gemini is connected to chatgpt to give a proper iPad version of its app. Go to the App Store on your iPad now and you will find a dedicated iPad version of the app that you can download.
The iPad app can connect to your Google Photos app and added to your home screen like a widget.

IPad is often neglected by app developers as it has the ability to run iOS apps in just 2x-ing their size, so they roughly fit the iPads larger screen; However, this results in blocked text.
Dedicated iPad apps are designed specifically for iPad’s larger screen size and maintain the correct proportions and resolution for text and graphics. I’ve tried the new iPad version of the Gemini app and it’s much nicer than the 2x-in-iOS app.
There are no new features to have, but you get everything you have in the iOS version, which means you are going to go live with Gemini for natural voice conversations, you can create AI photos and also video using VEO 2, provided you are a Gemini -Advanced Subscriber. And of course, you can create audio listings inside Gemini.
No camera control
The new iPad version of the Gemini app is still missing one of the best features of the app when used on a pixel phone: The opportunity to share your screen and camera in conversations with Gemini. So far, this notable feature has been exclusive to Gemini used on Google Pixel phones, but it really locks the potential to use AI on a mobile device.
This means that Gemini can ‘see’ what you look at through your camera and answer questions about it.
The new camera and screen sharing ability are available for free with all Pixel 9 phones and is available with Gemini Advanced Subscription to other Pixel phones. There is currently no news from Google about when this ability will come to other Android phones, or even on the iPad and iPhone using the Gemini app.
