Google's Gemini App Surpasses One Billion Users

Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that Gemini has become one of the company’s fastest-growing products, with its app now reaching one billion users.

In an announcement posted on platform X, Pichai said the app recently surpassed 1 billion monthly active users.

According to a TechCrunch report on Tuesday (11/8) local time, this achievement marks Gemini as Google’s 14th product to reach the one billion user mark.

The user growth shows that Gemini is able to keep pace with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which previously reached one billion monthly active users in June 2026.

Interestingly, the new user figures recorded by Gemini are purely from the app itself and are not linked to other integrations.

Gemini is available across Google Search, Workspace, Android, and of course its own dedicated app.

The latest news of Gemini’s achievement adds to Google’s track record, following the success of AI Mode in its Search service.

AI Mode itself is known to have attracted more than one billion monthly active users globally.

Development of Gemini continues, with Google consistently launching new models and features, including Gemini 3.5 Flash, which Google says is designed to improve coding and autonomous AI agent tasks.

Google itself notes that 63 percent of Gemini users choose to speak directly with its AI assistant using the voice feature.

In addition, many users also create images every day through Gemini, with the AI having generated more than 150 million images daily.

And Gemini’s growth is not limited to Google’s own products. The company said it now has more than 100 million active users on iOS.

This important milestone comes right after the announcement of second-quarter 2026 earnings, in which the company celebrated reaching more than 950 million monthly users, with daily active users tripling over the past year.

The announcement also comes ahead of the Made by Google event, where more Gemini-based features are expected to be launched across Pixel devices.
