How To Install Google Gemini In Any Region And Replace Google Assistant?

It’s no secret that generative AI has always been the future we’ve been working towards, whether in designing or writing code. Now, after months of teasing, Google is finally rolling out the Gemini app to users, bringing a slew of new features and capabilities. Here’s how you can install it and replace Google Assistant.

How to Install Google Gemini?

Google is slowly rolling out the new service to countries, starting with the US. Therefore, if you’re in a supported region, you can install the app directly from the Play Store. Here’s how:

Open the Play Store.
In the Search tab, type “Google Gemini.”
Install the app.

If the app isn’t available in your region, you can install the APK file from a trusted third-party source, such as APKMirror. Here’s how:

Visit the APKMirror Website [here].
Scroll down and click on available downloads.
Click on the install button.
On the next page, scroll down and click on the Download button.
If you see a popup warning about downloading files from third-party sources, click “Download Anyway”.
Once downloaded, install the app.
