Chrome Android Adds Gemini Button in Bottom Bar, Expanding AI Across Multiple Tabs

Summary
Chrome on Android is starting to show a Gemini shortcut in a redesigned bottom navigation bar, placing the AI button between Home and tabs.
The change gives Gemini deeper in-browser access, letting users work across multiple open tabs instead of being limited to the single page on screen.
Chrome v150 also folds in a back button on the left of the address bar and a three-dot menu on the right, though the Gemini shortcut appears only when the bar is moved to the bottom.
Google has reportedly tested the feature for 3 months, but availability remains unclear, with no confirmation on a broader rollout beyond an earlier expectation of a US launch.
The Android update follows Gemini’s wider push in Chrome: UK desktop access recently eased after regulatory delays, and similar iOS features are expected by next month.
