Google tipped to be introducing iOS version of Assistant, launching in US first

With Google I/O just a few days away, it seems this new rumour leaked at an appropriate time. According to Android Police, Google plans to launch a standalone Google Assistant app for iOS platform. It’s said the app might combine the chat functionality of Google Assistant, which we’ve seen on the Google Allo app, and the voice-controlled version seen on Android. There aren’t that many details yet about this supposed launch but it’s said the app will first be available in the US.

It seems ideal to launch at the company’s developer’s conference as they just released Assistant’s SDK late last month. If this rumour is true, it might entice more developers to integrate with the app’s functionality.
