Pichai also noted it was the 14th Google product to hit the 1 billion mark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this rapid growth, Gemini is keeping pace with OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT, which hit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/chatgpt-app-hits-1-billion-monthly-active-users-record-time-data-shows-2026-06-02\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">1 billion monthly active users <\/a>back in June.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has been steadily integrating Gemini across its products, from Search and Workspace to Android and its standalone app. Google\u2019s AI Mode in Search, in particular, has achieved a lot of success, with over 1 billion monthly active users globally. But today\u2019s figure refers specifically to the Gemini app, and does not include AI users from other channels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company also continued rolling out new models and features, including <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/05\/19\/with-gemini-3-5-flash-google-bets-its-next-ai-wave-on-agents-not-chatbots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gemini 3.5 Flash<\/a>, which Google says is designed to improve coding and autonomous AI-agent tasks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google also shared numbers of how people are actually using the chatbot, with 63% of Gemini users talking directly to the assistant using the voice feature. Plus, Gemini now generates more than 150 million images every day, according to Google.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Gemini\u2019s growth isn\u2019t limited to Google\u2019s own products. The company says it now has more than 100 million active users on iOS.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The milestone comes right after its Q2 2026 earnings call, where the company celebrated having <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/07\/23\/google-closes-in-on-another-billion-user-product-with-gemini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">over 950 million monthly users<\/a>, with daily active users tripling this past year. The announcement also comes ahead of its Made by Google event, where it\u2019s expected to have more Gemini-powered features launching across Pixel devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>When you purchase through links in our articles, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/techcrunch-affiliate-monetization-standards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we may earn a small commission<\/a>.
