Google to Launch Gemini in Chrome on Android in June
Google announced a new step in integrating artificial intelligence into its browser, revealing that the Gemini feature will arrive in Chrome on Android devices starting in June 2026. This announcement was made during the Android Show: I/O Edition event. This move is part of the company's strategy to develop a smarter and more interactive browsing experience.

According to the announcement, Android users will see a new Gemini icon in the top right corner of the Chrome browser toolbar. Tapping it will open a smart chat interface that pops up from the bottom of the screen. This interface allows users to interact with the assistant while browsing without having to leave the page or interrupt their current activity.
The new version of Gemini in Chrome offers many features similar to the desktop experience, including the ability to create images using the Nano Banana template, along with integration with various Google apps such as Google Calendar and Google Keep. It also offers Personal Intelligence, which allows the assistant to access user data within Google services to provide more accurate and personalized answers.
Google has also added an auto-browsing feature, one of its most important new features, which allows the assistant to perform tasks on behalf of the user, such as booking appointments or completing certain online transactions. However, this feature will be available only with the paid AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions, and will include an additional layer of security requiring user confirmation before executing any sensitive operations, such as payments or posting.
The company confirmed that these capabilities rely on advanced security systems similar to those used on computers, aiming to protect users from threats such as malicious injection attempts while browsing. It also clarified that the minimum requirements for running the feature are Android devices with at least 4GB of RAM and support for Android 12 and above. The phased rollout will begin in the United States by the end of June 2026.
This move represents a significant shift in how users interact with the browser, transforming Chrome's assistant from a mere web browsing tool into a fully integrated, intelligent assistant that helps users accomplish their daily tasks faster and more seamlessly.
