When you're trying to learn about something new on the web, you might come across content that uses jargon or technical concepts you're not familiar with. Simplify, a new feature in the Google app on iOS, uses AI to make dense text on the web easier to understand — without leaving a web page.

To use Simplify, select any complex text on a web page you’re visiting in the Google app. Tap the “Simplify” icon that appears, and you’ll see a new, simpler version of the text, helping you quickly understand a new concept so you can keep reading.

Simplify features a novel prompt refinement approach developed by Google Research, and uses Gemini to make complicated text more digestible — without losing key details. In research testing, people found the simplified text to be significantly more helpful than the original complex text, and better retained the information.
