Google is going all in on mobile browsing, this time integrating Gemini directly into Chrome on Android. In the past, the company has announced Gemini features in Chrome, but this one is all about deeper page understanding, task automation, and creative tools. Google says the latest update builds on Gemini 3.1 and converts your browser into a more active assistant. Besides expanding Gemini in Chrome on Android, Google is also rolling out auto browse and Nano Banana image features, adding more AI-powered features into everyday browsing.
Gemini in Chrome turns Android browsing into an AI assistant
As part of this update, Gemini in Chrome appears as a dedicated icon in the browser toolbar on Android. Once opened, it sits at the bottom of the screen and can understand the webpage a user is viewing.
From there, you can ask questions about articles, get summaries, or break down complex topics without switching apps. Notably, Gemini in Chrome on Android can also connect with Google services, allowing you to add events to Calendar, save recipes to Keep, or pull details from Gmail.
Google further notes that you can even opt into Personal Intelligence for more personalized responses based on your interests and habits.
Google finally brings auto browse on Android
For the first time, Google is launching auto browse on Android. You may have heard about this feature before. If not, it is meant to handle repetitive tasks like booking parking or updating online orders using context from emails or tickets.
Besides that, Nano Banana brings a more visual layer to browsing. It allows you to modify or generate images directly inside Chrome using simple prompts. For example, you can turn web pages into infographics or visualize furnished rooms from apartment listings. The idea is to make browsing feel more interactive without leaving the page.
Security also remains an integral part of the rollout, with Google confirming protections against prompt injection and requiring confirmation for sensitive actions like purchases. That said, the rollout will initially kick off in the U.S. starting late June on select Android 12 devices and above. That’s not all; Google says that auto browse will initially be limited to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. As a reminder, the company has also announced Gemini Intelligence, which it says will make Android smarter and proactive.
