Google app’s Simplify feature for iPhone

Google is smartly integrating its AI features into its services, bringing easy access to users. Now, iPhone users who heavily rely on the Google app for web search get a new AI-powered feature called “Simplify”. As the name suggests, the feature converts complex or technical information on the web into an easily understandable form, enabling users to grasp text without the need to make a follow-up search to understand complex terms.

Reportedly, Simplify, which is developed by Google Research, leverages the Gemini AI model to bring a simpler form of the highlighted text. Therefore, anyone, irrespective of educational background, can understand technical jargon. Google Research team picked 4563 participants for topic expertise and “used 31 diverse, real-world text excerpts across domains known for complexity: medical research, biology, law, finance, literature, philosophy, aerospace, and computer science.” These participants helped examine the accuracy of the simplified version of complex text across topics.

While we cannot see the feature on the Google app yet, but the blog post shared by Google highlighted that it has started to roll out for iPhone users. To access this AI feature on an iPhone, open the Google app on your iPhone while making a web search. Then select the paragraph, sentence or text which you want to be simplified for easier understanding. After highlighting, a pop-up will appear, and then click on “Simplify”. Then Gemini will take a few moments to provide a simplified version of the text. However, it should be noted that Google has not confirmed if this Google app feature will reach Android users with upcoming updates.
