According to the sources, the specifics of Google’s plans for Assistant on iOS remain unclear as of now, but the app is predicted to combine the chatbot-like features of Google Allo<\/a> with voice controls found on Android smartphones. <\/p>\n According to a trusted source, Google plans to announce that the Google Assistant will be launching on iOS soon as a standalone app. The announcement could come as soon as Google’s I\/O conference this week, but it’s unclear exactly what Google’s plans are at this time. The app would likely feature a blend of the “chat” style functionality in the Google Allo version of Assistant and the voice-controlled version found on Android, but again, details are scant.<\/p>\n We do know that the Assistant for iOS will only be available in the US at launch, and that Google plans to make the announcement in fairly short order. I\/O would be a pretty ideal venue for such a launch, as Assistant’s SDK was just made available to developers late last month. Bringing the Assistant to the world’s second-largest mobile OS would likely encourage more developers to integrate with the app’s functionality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Microsoft has launched its own smart assistant Cortana on iOS in the past<\/a>, allowing more users to gain access to the assistant than if it remained exclusive to the company’s own devices. If Google Assistant does come to iPhone and iPad<\/a>, it’ll mark a continued expansion of the AI, after Google first launched Assistant on Pixel devices, Google Home, the Google Allo app, and then expanded to Android smartphones<\/a>.<\/p>\n Discuss this article<\/a> in our forums<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/cdn.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2017\/05\/ios-google-assistant-800x405.jpg\")
