You may have noticed the AI ​​Mode button on the Google Chrome search page on your desktop. It essentially uses advanced inference from Gemini 2.5, allowing users to ask questions via text, voice, or images and receive comprehensive answers to their queries. This same AI Mode is now expanding to Chrome for iOS and Android.

Users will now see the AI ​​Mode button on Chrome’s “New Tab” page, alongside an incognito button. The AI ​​Mode button will roll out in the US on Wednesday and will gradually expand to 160 countries and other languages, including Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and more.

Both AI Mode and Incognito Mode have dedicated icons inside pill-shaped buttons. Through this more accessible approach, Google hopes people will use its AI instead of jumping to third-party AI chatbots for in-depth reasoning and research. However, unlike the AI ​​overview you get when performing a search, the AI ​​Mode feature is optional; you must click the button to interact with it.

Google first introduced AI Mode in March, but it was only available on desktop. Over time, the feature has gained several new functionalities, and it can now be used as a dedicated button below the Google search bar on Android and iOS devices.
