If you open Gemini with a work account in Android's Work Profile, but it's always taken to the web instead of the native app, it's usually not a system pump. Google's help page for work or school accounts already states that when you try to open the Gemini mobile app in your Android Work Profile, you'll be taken to the Gemini web app.

In other words, this jump is not an occasional error, but the official current management of the working environment. Many users find it strange because they default to "the app is already installed, so you should run directly in the app". But in a more governed environment like Work Profile, Google clearly preferred the web portal to take over.

The actual impact of this matter is twofold. First, if you're asking "why can't I never get into the app", it often makes no sense to continue clearing the cache and reinstalling the app. Second, many mobile exclusive experiences and ordinary personal account experiences will be different on work accounts.

The most time-saving practices are usually:
1. Accept the status quo of the web in your Work Profile and don't keep competing with native apps.
2. If you need more complete features, prioritize using Gemini Web on desktop.
3. If you can't even access the web, go to the administrator to confirm the account and organization policy.

Many people misjudge this phenomenon as "enterprise phone security software intercepts Gemini". Of course, some company policies may be further restrictive, but simply "being taken to the page" is already defined as normal behavior in Google Help.

Therefore, Gemini always jumps to the web page under Android Work Profile, and it does not have to be repaired. Most of the time, it is currently officially regulated to go to the web.
