Google Search AI Mode Now Available In India And You Can Try It On Mobile Or Web
Last Updated:
Google AI mode for search is now rolling out in India as an experimental feature that you can manually enable from the Google app or website.
Google's AI Mode in Search is now rolling out for users in India this week, who can try out the new version of AI-powered Search both on mobile and the web. Search AI is going to be a big part of Google's own push in the arena as it looks to reinvent the Search wheel for many years to come.
Search with AI mode has been available in the US since its release at the I/O 2025 in May and now Google is offering it as a part of the Labs catalogue for its users in India.
The new AI Mode experiment in Search uses advanced reasoning, thinking and multimodal capabilities from Gemini to help with even your toughest questions. Google says, you can ask whatever's on your mind and get an AI-powered response with the ability to explore further with follow-up questions and helpful web links.
This is where the AI mode differs from the traditional search responses that Google has offered for decades. 'AI Mode does the heavy lifting for you, intelligently organizing information and gives you easy-to-digest breakdowns," the Google blog post shares.
You will find the new AI Mode for Search listed in the Google Labs section which you can open by clicking on the Beaker icon on the top-left of the Google mobile app, and top-right if you have Google Search open on the desktop. You are greeted with the 'Meet AI Mode' message at the top of the screen and below that you have the dialog box where you can ask anything.
However, there is a reason why Google is offering the AI Mode as an experiment, which means mistakes can happen with the information shared. 'This new mode is rooted in our core quality and safety systems, but it's still an early experiment and may make mistakes. Your feedback will help make it better," Google highlights the early days for this AI search option.
In the next few months, Search AI will also be able to read images and content from your phone's camera. Search Live is going to do all that by giving you the usual search results on the screen. You will see a Live icon in the Google app on Android and iOS and by tapping on the icon you can start conversing with Search and the AI-generated model will respond to any of your queries.
The new feature is available in AI mode for people in the US and you have to sign up for the Labs program that Google offers for its unreleased tools.

Australian regulator clashes with YouTube over first-ever teen social media ban exemption
Australia's internet watchdog and Google-owned YouTube engaged in a spat, after the regulator urged the government to reverse its planned exemption for the video-sharing platform from a world-first ban on social media for teens. Australia aims to be the first country to fine social media companies that fail to block users under the age of 16. Where does the issue between Australia-YouTube stems from The government, led by Anthony Albanese, had previously indicated it would grant YouTube a waiver, citing the platform's utility for educational and health content. Other social media giants, including Meta's Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok, have argued that such an exemption would create an unfair playing field. eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant revealed she wrote to the government last week, advocating for no exemptions when the law takes effect. She highlighted the regulator's research, which found that 37% of children aged 10 to 15 reported encountering harmful content on YouTube – the highest percentage among all social media sites surveyed. 'This is not a fair fight where our kids are concerned, vis-a-vis social media sites,' Inman Grant said. She contended that social media companies employ 'persuasive design features" like recommendation-based algorithms and notifications to maximise user engagement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Inman Grant specifically accused YouTube of having 'mastered those, opaque algorithms driving users down rabbit holes they're powerless to fight against.' Google says advice 'inconsistent and contradictory' In a swift rebuttal via a blog post, YouTube accused Inman Grant of providing "inconsistent and contradictory advice." Rachel Lord, YouTube's public policy manager for Australia and New Zealand, asserted that the Commissioner "chose to ignore this data, the decision of the Australian Government and other clear evidence from teachers and parents that YouTube is suitable for younger users," referencing government research that found 69% of parents considered the platform suitable for those under 15. When questioned about surveys supporting a YouTube exemption, Inman Grant firmly stated her priority: "about the safety of children and that's always going to surpass any concerns I have about politics or being liked or bringing the public onside."

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold leak says it will have IP68 rating before Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 July 9 launch
We are less than a month away from the launch of Google's Pixel 10 series, but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from giving us a fair idea of what to expect from the upcoming devices. Yes, devices — as four phones are expected to launch in the series: Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold. In the latest development, details about the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's durability have surfaced. Back in March, an Android Headlines report gave us our first look at how the phone might look. And now, information related to the phone's hinge and durability has to a new report by Android Headlines, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is said to feature a thinner hinge. A thinner hinge, in turn, would allow Google to reduce the bezel size and fit in a larger display compared to the current 6.3-inch panel on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The report suggests that the 10 Pro Fold will come with a 6.4-inch cover screen. For context, this would make it 0.1-inch larger than what we see on the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro Fold, and even the upcoming Pixel 10 and 10 Pro — both of which are rumoured to feature 6.3-inch it's not just the cover screen that may get a size bump due to the thinner hinge. The overall footprint of the phone is also expected to be slimmer. While the renders of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold show a design strikingly similar to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the actual dimensions could be slightly different, if these leaks are to be believed. For reference, the Pixel 9 Pro is just 5.4mm thick when unfolded and 10.5mm when folded, with a weight of 257 grams. Based on the leaks, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be slimmer and lighter than its As for durability, the report also mentions that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may come with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. Now, this might not sound like a big deal, considering most candybar-style phones — whether flagship or mid-range — have had IP68 ratings for a while. But foldables haven't quite reached that level. In fact, the best dust and water resistance rating on any foldable today is on Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, which feature an IP48 rating. The '4' in IP48 means that Samsung's foldables are protected from dust particles larger than IP68 rating, however, would mean protection against dust as well as water immersion in up to 1.5 metres of water for 30 minutes — putting it on par with standard flagship phones like the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 said, while it all sounds promising — that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may gain an IP68 rating — rumours suggest Samsung may beat Google to the punch, as the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also expected to feature an IP68 rating. Whether that happens or not remains to be Google Pixel 10 series is set to be unveiled on August 28, followed by an announcement on August 20.- Ends
