Gemini app nears 1 billion users

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said on the company’s Q2 2026 earnings call that the Gemini mobile app reached 950 million monthly active users, about 50 million short of the billion-user mark ChatGPT crossed earlier this year. Pichai said the user base tripled year over year, with roughly 200 million of those users added in the last four months alone, growth he attributed largely to new agentic features rather than the chatbot alone.
