Gemini app comes for the iPad, Instagram is still missing

Good news for iPad users-and a (still) bad: Google has adapted its increasingly popular Gemini-Ki app for the tablet. In the meantime, Meta still does not make any institutions to bring Instagram to the Apple tablet, despite fresh rumors.

Gemini uses the full screen

The new Gemini version has been available for a few days for a few days and is wearing version number 1.2025.1770107. To the update, Google only writes that “performance improvements and error corrections” have been implemented. But in truth, there is more in the update. So the app finally no longer shows the small iPhone interface (which you may technically inflate can), but is an iPad app optimized for full screen. This means that the application has more space for expenses from pictures or content from the web. However, the app currently shows a little bit of open space in voice assistance mode (“Go Live with Gemini”).

Further innovations in the Gemini app concern the iOS or IPADOS HOMESCREEN, for which there are now their own widgets that can be added in option. After all, Google has also implemented a Google photo integration that can be used to interact with your own media library. Homescreen widgets and Google photo integration are not only available on the iPad, but also in the iOS version of the app. Gemini can be used free of charge, if you want more features, you need a subscription that is just under 20 euros a month.

Instagram: rumors about iPad version-again

So while Google succeeds overnight to adapt its Gemini app to the iPad, which was only published for iOS in November, must continue to be serviced on Metas Instagram for Apple tablets. In the past month there were again corresponding rumors that it should finally be so far. But nothing has happened to this day.

At that time it was said that Instagram mother Meta was motivated by a possible end of Tikok in the USA (which was repeatedly postponed) to finally create an iPad version of Instagram. Because Tiktok has been available for Apple tablets for a long time. And so users can only continue to wait-or use Instagram in the browser or as inflated iPhone version.
