Google Assistant for iOS could be announced at Google IO 2017
Apple's Siri may have to make some room for another digital assistant, as it appears that Google Assistant could be coming to iOS soon.
Google is reportedly working on an iOS-compatible Google Assistant app, with the official announcement possibly coming out during this week's IO 2017 developer's conference, according to Android Police.
The Google Assistant iOS app is expected to work similarly to its Android counterpart, using both text inputs (similar to the Google Assistant-powered Allo service) and voice commands. The report also claims that the app will only be available in the US at launch.
While Android Police's sources are confident in an eventual release of Google Assistant on iOS, it's stated that an announcement during IO 2017, while likely, aren't set in stone just yet.
In the meantime, be sure to check back with us May 17-19, when Google's developer conference kicks off. In addition to Google Assistant, we are crossing fingers for a whole list of potential announcements from the Android maker, including new developments for Android Wear 2.0 and Google Home.
