- Google now lets you use Gemini without signing in to a Google account.
- Users can interact with Gemini, but features like chat history, image generation, and attachments are unavailable.
- The ability to use Gemini without a Google account is only possible on the web, not on Gemini apps on Android and iPhone.
It’s pretty evident that Google is leaving no stone unturned when it comes to pushing Gemini, its AI-powered assistant. However, one big limitation it posed since its inception was that you couldn’t use Gemini without your Google account. Fortunately, this requirement is no longer necessary.
Yes, starting today if you head to Gemini ( website ) on a web browser, you will notice that instead of asking you to sign in, the page directly takes you to the chat window. So you no longer need to sign in and continue using Gemini to summarize stuff or ask it to write a symphony.
While signed out, your chat history won’t be saved, it won’t generate images or add attachments. For these, Google has placed three identical sign-in options, prompting you to give in your account information. You are also stuck with the Gemini 2.0 Flash model , while all the other models are inaccessible.
Personally, I find this incognito state quite intriguing, as you can secretly ask Gemini for help but don’t want others to find out. You can launch it in the incognito window, and close it once your work is done. However, you will have to sign in if you want to take advantage of more advanced features.
The ability to use Gemini without a Google account is exclusive to the web. It is not available for the Android or iOS versions of Gemini. So your options are quite limited with this signed-out version of Gemini.

- Apple and Google have officially confirmed their team-up for the next-gen Siri AI.
- The Cupertino Giant will be using Google’s Gemini for a more personalized Siri model as well as Apple Intelligence features.
- We can expect the next-gen Siri to come out with iOS 26.4, sometime in March or April.
Apple has officially confirmed joining forces with Google to use its Gemini AI model to power the next-generation Siri. It will offer a more personalized experience and will be coming out with the iOS 26.4 update. Apple also plans to leverage Gemini’s capabilities for other Apple Intelligence features as well, later down the line.
The Next-Gen Siri will be powered by Google’s Gemini AI
Apple officially confirmed that it will be partnering with Google in a statement to CNBC . Here’s what it stated, “After careful evaluation, we determined that Google’s technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models, and we’re excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for our users.”
Later, Google also shared a post on X confirming the tie-up, “Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google’s Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year.”

Both statements clearly mention that the Cupertino Giant will be using Gemini to power its assistant Siri. This was already rumored, as Apple’s attempts to acquire Perplexity went nowhere. With Gemini, Siri will get a major AI update . It will be able to handle more nuanced conversations and provide better results. Something long-time Apple users have been asking for years.
The next-gen Siri will arrive with the iOS 26.4 update, which will launch sometime in March or April. And it is only going to be available for Apple Intelligence-supported devices .
Something else worth noting is how Google’s statement mentions that Gemini will power Apple Intelligence features. This leads us to believe that Apple could use Gemini’s multi-modal capabilities for its Writings tools , Image Playground , and Message summaries, too.
Elon Musk Not Happy With Apple and Google Tie Up
xAI CEO Elon Musk also responded to Google’s announcement post on X, sharing his thoughts on the matter by saying, “This seems like an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that they also have Android and Chrome.” Though we don’t expect either Apple or Google to respond to Elon, we will update the situation as it progresses.
It is worth noting that xAI is the company behind Grok, which is in hot water currently due to its inappropriate image generation fiasco , and has been getting backlash from multiple news outlets, X users, and even government authorities.
