Google Cancels AI Studio Mobile App
- •Google cancels standalone AI Studio mobile app after around 800,000 Android and iOS pre-orders
- •AI Studio’s app-building tools will move into Gemini across mobile and desktop instead
- •Google has not shared a timeline for bringing AI Studio features to Gemini mobile
Google has canceled its standalone AI Studio mobile app before launch, after around 800,000 users pre-ordered it across Android and iOS, according to Android Authority. The company announced the dedicated mobile app in May, but the official Google AI Studio account later said on X that Google had decided to stop the release. Google said it did not want users to install “yet another app” and will move AI Studio’s core app-building capabilities into the Gemini app instead.
Google said it is working with the Gemini app team to bring the AI Studio experience to both mobile and desktop. In May, Google had described AI Studio for mobile as a tool for creators and developers to build, iterate, test, and publish AI-powered apps directly from smartphones. The planned app also included app remixing and cross-device project syncing, according to the article.
Google’s change means people who pre-registered for the AI Studio mobile app will not receive the standalone app they signed up for. The underlying AI-powered app creation experience is expected to arrive inside Gemini on mobile, but Google has not provided a timeline for that rollout. The AI Studio web experience will continue to grow and evolve, while Gemini appears set to become a more central hub for Google’s AI experiences.
