This delayed rollout comes months after Google last expanded Gemini\u2019s footprint in the world\u2019s most-used web browser. While the UK-specific change applies to Chrome for desktop, Google also plans to bring the features to iOS by next month. But even before that happens, the team is already rushing to deploy the feature on Android.<\/p>\n<p>According to tipster Leopeva64 on X, Chrome on Android is starting to show a Gemini shortcut. It appears as part of a redesigned Chrome navigation bar, where the new Gemini button sits between the Home and your tab buttons.<\/p>\n<p>While the option to invoke Gemini on top of a Chrome tab has existed for some time, users have had to rely on Gemini on their phones. More importantly, your ability to ask questions was limited to the single web page open on the screen. The new update addresses those challenges by first embedding Gemini more deeply into Chrome on Android and enabling multiple open tabs for content \u2014 just as you can in the Gemini sidebar in Chrome for desktop.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_3g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw -
