Google adds its site Artificial intelligence tool Gemini to the running Chrome browser iPhone and iPads Across the US, which means you’ll be able to use Google’s AI functionality in Chrome instead of having to navigate to the Google app on your devices.
Integration comes after a few months Google has introduced Gemini in Chrome to Windows and Mac US desktop users in September. At the time, the company said it would do the same for iPhone and iPad.

Before now, if you wanted to use Gemini on your iPhone and iPad, you weren’t able to do so from Chrome — you had to go to the Google app or Google website.
People are using Android phones They already have Gemini on Chrome, which is the default browser on Android devices.
Chrome is the most widely used web browser in the United States; Statcounter said As of November, Chrome had a 54% market share of browsers in the US, followed by Apple’s Safari (28%) and Microsoft Edge (7%). There are other smaller browsers that people use to search the Internet, including Firefox, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and Arc.

The “gap” has been filled.
Jason Howell, host of the show Android Faithful Podcast And a former CNET employee said Google has filled a “noticeable gap” in Chrome’s AI for millions of iPhone and iPad users in the United States.
“Giving Gemini awareness of what’s going on inside Chrome has a real benefit, and putting that spark code front and center will get a lot of people to try this who might not have otherwise,” Howell said. “It’s a smart distribution game. Put your AI in an app that millions have already installed, and you’ll give them a tempting reason to test it.”
Howell said adding Gemini to Chrome for iOS could give Google an advantage over Edge.
“Microsoft is already bringing Copilot to iOS through its custom apps and even within the Edge browser, so this isn’t so much that Google is moving forward as it is catching up with Google in a very important and visible place,” Howell said. “However, Chrome has a much larger footprint on iOS than Edge, so it is using its scale to put Gemini in front of a much larger number of iPhone and iPad users, which could meaningfully shift adoption among third-party AI assistants.”
What can you do with Gemini?
Gemini in Chrome isn’t immediately available to all iOS device users, but is gradually rolling out across the US. To be able to get it, you must be running Chrome version 143, log in to your account and make sure the browser language is set to English; You also cannot be in incognito mode.
Chrome users on iOS will know they have Gemini when the Google Lens icon (which looks like a camera with a dot in the middle) to the left of the address bar is replaced with the Gemini icon (which looks like a sparkle).
When you click or tap the Gemini icon, two options will appear on the Page Tools screen that slides up: Search screen and Ask Gemini. The two shortcuts that will appear are: Page summary and Create a FAQ about this topic.
Let’s say your web page is about the most important news events of 2025. You could ask Gemini, “Give me a list of the most important events for each month,” or “List the most important political news of 2025.” Maybe you’re looking for a great meal to prepare but need substitutions for certain ingredients — you can ask Gemini for suggestions. Just remember to double-check everything the AI tool tells you because AI is known for that hallucination.
The Gemini for Chrome app on iOS will also make it easier to pay using biometrics instead of Card Verification Code (CVC) while shopping online.
