Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

The features of analyzing and summing up data in the shape of files which have been uploaded define the way of turning the simple chatbot into a powerful assistant. On Wednesday Google stated that file upload for its Gemini AI has been enabled on both IOS and Android but this feature is only available to subscribers with Gemini Advance only.

Before it was released for mobile, this feature was debuted on the desktop in May under the Gemini 1. 5 Pro update. However, the option was previously available in the form accessible through the web link Gemini. google. com rather than within the app. That’s no longer necessary. It has been changed after the update, and currently, there is a plus (+) in the bottom left part of the Gemini screen, which is a menu with options to upload specific files.
