AI Mode in Chrome is Easier to Use on iOS and Android
Chrome now puts an AI Mode button on the New Tab page in its iOS and Android apps, making Gemini-powered search and follow-up questions easier to reach on phones. U.S. rollout has begun, with broader availability planned.
You open Chrome to look something up and end up juggling five tabs and a dozen search tweaks.
What if your phone could take complex questions, keep the thread, and serve relevant sources without the tap-dance?
Here's a Cool Tip: Use the New AI Mode Button in Chrome for iOS and Android.
Feature Explanation
AI Mode in Chrome gives mobile users a quick path to conversational search and follow-ups powered by Gemini.
On both iOS and Android, a new AI Mode button appears under the search bar on the New Tab page. Tap it, ask a multi-part question, then refine with natural follow-ups.
Chrome returns an answer with links for deeper reading.
This is part of a broader reimagining of Chrome with AI, including easier access to summarization and explanation features as they expand across platforms.
