Key takeaways
- Google Google is bringing Gemini in Chrome to Android devices.

Google Google is bringing Gemini in Chrome to Android devices. During the Android Show: I/O Edition livestream on Tuesday, the company announced that it would release the chatbot integration in June. Once it arrives, Android users will see a new Gemini icon at the top right of the toolbar. Tapping it will bring up a chat interface from the bottom of the screen.
Despite the switch to a smaller form factor, the majority of Gemini in Chrome features Google offers on PCs are accounted for in this new release. For instance, Nano Banana image generation is present, as is integration with other Google apps, including Calendar and Keep. Likewise, Personal Intelligence — which allows Gemini to pull context from your other Google services — is available too.
The company has even managed to bring auto browse to Android, though as before an AI Pro or Ultra subscription is required to use the feature. Google suggests auto browse can be helpful in situations where you're in a rush. For example, say you forgot to reserve parking tickets for a comedy show, you can instruct Gemini to get you one through SpotHero. The agent will then use information from your ticket confirmation to complete the task.
