Google brings Gemini’s Chrome integration to iPhone and iPad
Built-in Gemini AI features in Chrome are now becoming more widely available on the iOS version of Google’s browser, as reported by 9to5Google and Engadget. They’re popping up several months after the features’ rollout on the desktop version started in September.
Once the new Gemini features are active on your iPhone or iPad, Chrome users will see a new icon in the left corner of the address bar (where the Google Lens icon used to be), shaped like a notebook page with the Gemini star symbol in one corner. By tapping that new icon, you can ask Gemini questions about what’s on screen or have it summarize webpages.
The capabilities of this integration are still somewhat limited compared to what you’d get on the webpage or app for Gemini (or another chatbot), but it could still be useful if you want a quick answer without leaving the webpage you’re on.
To test out the feature, you have to be signed in on the iOS version of Chrome. The Gemini integration doesn’t work in Incognito mode and currently only supports English. If you’re still seeing the Google Lens icon on your address bar instead of the new Gemini icon, try updating the Chrome app from the App Store and check again. If you’re still not seeing the new icon after that, you may just have to wait a bit longer — Google’s support page for the feature says it’s “rolling out to users over time,” and isn’t available to everyone just yet.
