Alphabet recently shared its Q3 2025 earnings, revealing some exciting news about the Gemini app. CEO Sundar Pichai announced that Gemini has surged to over 650 million active users. Just a few months ago, in March 2025, the app had about 350 million users—almost double its count from October 2024, when it had only 90 million users.
A report from earlier this year indicated that Pichai hoped to reach 500 million users by the close of 2025. The latest numbers likely reflect only the standalone Gemini app, excluding other integrations. Gemini is easily accessible on Android, iOS, and the web.
Interestingly, in September, Google attributed a significant boost—23 million new users—to the popularity of its Nano Banana image generation and editing feature.
During the earnings call, Pichai also teased the arrival of Gemini 3 later this year. For context, back in July, Google reported 100 million users for its AI Mode, which is now attracting 75 million daily users.
On a broader scale, Alphabet experienced a historic Q3, generating over $102 billion in revenue, marking its first quarter surpassing the $100 billion mark. This figure represents a remarkable 16% year-over-year growth, driven by gains across Google Search, YouTube ads, subscriptions, and Google Cloud services.
The numbers reflect a booming interest in AI technologies, as evidenced by the rapid growth of applications like Gemini. As AI evolves, user expectations also rise. Social media comments show that many view the app as a game changer, sparking discussions about its potential beyond conventional uses.
