Google's Gemini chatbot has announced the service's global expansion, making the app available in India and other countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Turkey. This expansion is said to bring the app and its features to the users residing in the mentioned countries. 

Google's Gemini was initially exclusively available on certain Pixel and Samsung Galaxy smartphones. However, with this expansion, the Gemini chatbot for Messages is now accessible on a wider range of devices with 6 GB RAM or higher.

Google’s expansion of its chatbot has given access to a wider array of devices. This move democratises Google’s advanced messaging tools and extends its reach to millions of users. 

However, the platform currently excludes European Union countries despite being available in 165 regions globally. This exclusion is due to the regulatory complexities and compliance issues in Europe. 

As per reports by GSM Arena, this expansion is a notable step in Google’’s efforts to broaden the reach of its chatbot technology beyond select markets. Google has also expressed enthusiasm about launching in India, citing the country’s vibrant mobile-first culture.
