How to Turn On & Off AI Mode in Google Search (Phone & PC)

Until now, we were seeing AI Overview in Google Search, but now Google has launched a default AI mode for Android phones. However, at the time of writing this article, you can only enable AI Mode through Search Labs.

Google has launched this new AI mode in India along with other countries. In simple terms, AI Mode is the updated version of AI Overview. Currently, Google is using the latest and most powerful Gemini 2.5 for AI Mode, but it may shift to another version later.

As we all know, Google apps and Chrome come pre-installed on Android mobile phones, and now Google has implemented the AI mode in these very apps. Not only that, but this AI mode can also be easily used with Google Search in desktop browsers.
