Google has cancelled the standalone AI Studio mobile application, which had been scheduled to debut at its annual developer conference in May 2026 for Android and iOS. The app had attracted approximately 800,000 pre-orders from users across 168 countries on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

The web version of AI Studio will continue operating independently.
Google is adjusting its AI Studio product strategy and cancelling the launch plan for the standalone mobile application. The app was originally scheduled to debut at the annual developer conference in May 2026, targeting Android and iOS platforms, and was designed to provide developers and creators with a mobile environment for building AI applications. Previously, the app had opened pre-orders on the Apple App Store and Google Play, attracting approximately 800,000 users to complete reservations, covering 168 countries globally.
The Google AI Studio team announced on social platforms the decision to cancel the official release of the standalone app. Officials stated that the move does not mean abandoning the related features, but rather adjusting the product roadmap to integrate core capabilities into the Gemini main application. The AI Studio team will collaborate with the Gemini team to enable users to directly complete the generation, production, and prototyping of AI applications through daily conversations with Gemini on both mobile and desktop.
Meanwhile, the web version of AI Studio will continue to operate independently, and will continue to receive feature upgrades and resource investment, serving as the primary platform for developers and professional users.
