Google will use AI on iPhone to simplify search results and web ...
Google has introduced a new AI feature called Simplify for iPhone users. This feature utilizes artificial intelligence to simplify complex information directly within the web page being viewed. Users can benefit from this feature without the need to open a new tab or leave the site.
During early testing, individuals found the simplified text provided by Simplify to be notably more helpful compared to the original complex text. Google acknowledges that the research has its limitations and emphasizes the importance of ongoing vigilance to identify any inaccuracies that may arise.
Powered by Gemini AI
Simplify is powered by Google's Gemini AI and was developed by Google Research. The aim of Simplify is to transform complex technical language into clearer and more accessible explanations while ensuring that essential information is not omitted.
An example provided by Google Research illustrates how Simplify works. For instance, a complex sentence describing a medical condition is simplified into a more understandable version by the feature.
To access Simplify, users can simply highlight the text they want to simplify while browsing in the Google app and tap on the Simplify icon that appears. This action will instantly present a clearer version of the text for easier comprehension.
It is important to note that the rollout of the Simplify feature is being done gradually, and users may need to wait for it to become available on their iPhones. Currently, Simplify is being introduced to iOS users, with the timeline for Android support remaining uncertain.
Google I/O 2025 and Gemini AI
Google's introduction of the Simplify feature for iPhone users may serve as a precursor to its upcoming event, Google I/O 2025. This event is scheduled to commence on May 20 and is expected to unveil additional Gemini AI features.
In conjunction with Simplify, Google has also announced updates to its "most intelligent AI model," the Gemini 2.5 Pro I/O edition. This latest iteration offers significant improvements in code transformation, code editing, and the development of complex workflows.
