After rolling it out on desktop and Android earlier in 2025, Google is finally bringing its built-in Gemini AI experience to iPhone and iPad. It offers new features like summarizing pages and helping you test your knowledge about a subject you’re learning. As with any AI tool, though, it shouldn’t be trusted for anything important given the possibility of hallucinations and other errors.
When it arrives on your iOS device, tapping the spark icon at the left of the address bar (in place of the Google Lens camera) brings up a “Pages tool” that offers Lens and the new feature, “Ask Gemini.” You can then chat with Gemini about the current web page (by default) or any other topic. It may then offer suggestions that appear in the chat box like:
-
Summarize page: Tap to get key takeaways and insights that help you understand any topic.
-
Create FAQ about this topic: Tap to get FAQs based on info from this page and similar sites.
If you elect to just type in the chat window, here are some examples of what you can do:
-
Summarize key takeaways from an article
-
Explain a complex topic in a different way
-
Help you test your knowledge of a new subject you’re learning
-
Modify a recipe to meet dietary needs
-
Compare information or make recommendations based on your preferences
The response to your chat questions will float over the web page that then shifts to the background. A new chat can be started from the top right corner, and you’ll see a Liquid Glass overflow menu.
For now, Gemini in Chrome on iPhone and iPad is only supported in the US with the browser language set to English. You need to be signed into Chrome and the feature doesn’t work in incognito mode. Google also noted that the feature is only available to users 18 and older and may not roll out to your device immediately.
