As reported, the Gemini AI features built into Chrome are now becoming more widely available on the iOS version of Google’s browser 9to5Google And Engadget, They’re coming out several months after the rollout of features began on the desktop version in September.
Once the new Gemini features are activated 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 a Gemini star symbol in one corner. By tapping that new icon, you can ask Gemini questions about what’s on the screen or give it a summary of webpages.
The capabilities of this integration are still somewhat limited compared to what you’ll find on Gemini’s (or any other chatbot’s) webpage or app, but it can still be useful if you want quick answers without leaving the webpage you’re on.
To test the feature, you’ll need to be signed in to the iOS version of Chrome. The Gemini integration does not work in incognito mode and currently only supports English. If you’re still seeing the Google Lens icon instead of the new Gemini icon on your address bar, try updating the Chrome app from the App Store and check again. If you still can’t see the new icon after that, you may just have to wait a little longer – Google’s help page Because this feature says that it is “being made available to users over time” and it is not available to everyone right now.
