Google is rolling out Gemini in Chrome for all Android users in the United States only , bringing deeper AI features directly into the mobile browser.
The wider release adds full multimodal Gemini integration to Chrome. Along with page summaries, users can now access image generation and a new agentic browsing feature that completes multi-step web tasks on its own.
Gemini Features in Chrome
Users can open Gemini by tapping the Gemini sparkle icon in Chrome’s top bar, or through the three-dot menu.
Gemini can summarize long web pages, research papers, articles, and recipe blogs into shorter points. Users can also ask follow-up questions about the content on the page without reading through everything manually.
The assistant connects directly with Google Workspace apps such as Google Calendar and Google Keep. For example, a user viewing an event schedule or flight confirmation can ask Gemini to add the information to their calendar or save notes, without switching apps.
Gemini also supports image generation inside Chrome through Nano Banana. This lets users create and customize images while browsing, instead of opening a separate app.
Auto Browse Can Handle Multi-Step Tasks
The biggest addition is Auto Browse, an agentic AI feature currently rolling out to Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers on Android in the United States.
Unlike standard AI tools that only summarize or answer questions, Auto Browse can navigate websites and complete multi-step tasks on a user’s behalf.
Google says the feature can find and book parking for concerts or sporting events, update recurring online orders or subscription deliveries, and research, organize, and book travel arrangements.
Before it acts, Auto Browse shows the user its planned steps. It then waits for approval before carrying out the task on a website.

Google Adds Protection Against Prompt Injection
Allowing an AI assistant to interact with websites also creates security risks. Malicious sites could attempt to hide instructions designed to trick the AI into sharing personal information or carrying out unauthorized actions, a technique known as prompt injection.
Google says its agentic browsing system has been designed with security protections against these attacks. Its models are trained to identify and block prompt injection attempts before they can be carried out.
Auto Browse also includes confirmation checkpoints. The system pauses before completing sensitive actions and asks the user to approve them, giving users final control over transactions and personal information.
Background: From Desktop Preview to Android Rollout
Google first introduced Gemini in Chrome at its I/O developer conference in May 2025. That version launched on Windows and Mac, limited to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
By September 2025, Google made the desktop version free for all US users and said agentic capabilities would follow.
Google confirmed plans to bring Gemini and Auto Browse to Chrome on Android in May 2026. A limited rollout to select Android devices in the US began in late June 2026, ahead of this month’s expansion to all users.
How to Check for Gemini in Chrome
The feature is currently rolling out to Android users across the United States.
Users can open Chrome on an Android phone or tablet and look for the Gemini sparkle icon in the address bar. If it is not visible, they can open the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and check for Gemini options.
Users should also make sure Chrome is updated to the latest version through the Google Play Store, as the feature is being enabled through a server-side rollout.
Not Yet Available in Pakistan
Gemini in Chrome on Android is currently limited to users in the United States, according to Google’s support documentation. Pakistani Android users cannot access the feature through standard settings at this time.
Google has not announced a timeline for bringing the Android version to Pakistan or other markets.
What Happens Next
Google has not said when Auto Browse will move beyond its current subscriber-only, US-only availability. The company has tied broader access to continued testing of its security protections against prompt injection.
