Gemini In Chrome Coming to Android Devices in June

Google offers Gemini in Chrome on Android devices. During the Android Show: I/O Edition live stream on Tuesday, the company announced that it would release the chatbot integration in June. Once there, Android users will see a new Gemini icon at the top right of the toolbar. Tapping on it will bring up a chat interface at the bottom of the screen.

Despite the move to a smaller format, the majority of Gemini features in Chrome offered by Google on PC are taken into account in this new version. For example, Nano Banana image generation is present, as is integration with other Google apps, including Calendar and Keep. Likewise, Personal Intelligence, which allows Gemini to extract context from your other Google services, is also available.

The company has even managed to integrate automatic navigation on Android, although, as before, an AI Pro or Ultra subscription is required to use this feature. Google suggests that automatic navigation can be useful in situations where you’re in a hurry. For example, let’s say you forgot to book parking tickets for a comedy show, you can ask Gemini to get you one through SpotHero. The agent will then use the information from your ticket confirmation to complete the task.

“All of these features are built with the same security protections we offer on desktop, protecting you against emerging threats like rapid injection so you can have peace of mind whether you’re on the go or at home,” Google said. “And to provide an extra level of control, automatic navigation is designed to ask for confirmation before performing sensitive tasks, like making purchases or posting to social media.”

Google plans to start rolling out Gemini in Chrome to Android users in the United States starting in late June. A device with at least 4GB of RAM is required to access the update, but support for the operating system dates back as far as Android 12.
