After debuting Gemini AI in Chrome last September, Google has finally extended this powerful feature to Apple’s mobile ecosystem. The latest Chrome update for iOS and iPadOS now includes Gemini AI integration for select users, allowing seamless AI-powered interactions right within the browser on iPhones and iPads.
Gemini AI Enhances Browsing on iPhone and iPad
Google is gradually rolling out Gemini AI within Chrome for iPhone and iPad, enabling users to engage with web content through an intelligent chatbot embedded in the browser. This feature offers useful functionalities such as:

- FAQ generation - creating relevant frequently asked questions based on page content and related sites
Limited Availability for Now
Although Gemini AI integration marks a significant upgrade for Chrome users on Apple devices, the feature is not yet available to everyone. Google appears to be rolling it out gradually, ensuring a smooth experience as more users gain access.
