Google Rolls Out Gemini in Chrome for iPhone and iPad as Gemini App Gains Visual Maps

Rolling out via Chrome 143 in the U.S., the experience requires a signed-in account in non‑Incognito mode.

Overview

  • Chrome for iOS now shows a Gemini‑badged page icon in the address bar that opens Page Tools with Ask Gemini alongside Search screen (Lens).
  • Gemini responses appear in a floating overlay that mirrors the Android design, with a Liquid Glass menu and no model picker reported on iOS.
  • The integration offers content‑aware shortcuts to summarize pages, create FAQs, explain complex topics, quiz learners, adapt recipes, and compare options.
  • Availability is gradual for U.S. users with English set in Chrome 143, with Google noting sign‑in is required, Incognito is unsupported, and access may be limited to adults.
  • Separately, the Gemini app is rolling out richer Google Maps results in English on desktop and mobile, adding photo cards, star ratings, emoji‑themed pins, and review summaries.
