Google Prepares to Bring Its App to Mac Desktops

Google may be working on a standalone app for macOS, according to a recent update of Google Play Services. The app is listed as MAC_GOOGLE_APP in the version 26.36.30 update.

This comes after Google released the Gemini app for Macs and rolled out its Google app for Windows computers in April. The list of available apps on Apple's iOS and iPadOS platforms is larger, but macOS has been catching up with the recent arrival of the Gemini app.

The reference to a standalone macOS app does not confirm its existence, but it suggests that development may be underway. It is unclear what shape this new app will take or when it might be released.
