Google’s New ‘Simplify’ Feature Helps Demystify Complex Text on iOS
The Google app on iOS has introduced a 'Simplify' feature that helps users understand complex text by providing simplified versions of challenging content. This feature works within the Google app's web browser and can be accessed by highlighting difficult text in Search results or Discover articles, which then offers an option to simplify it. Powered by Gemini (1.5) models, the simplification process is designed to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the original information while making it more accessible. Testing across various domains—including medical research, biology, law, finance, literature, philosophy, aerospace, and computer science—showed that users found the simplified text significantly more helpful in understanding complex concepts.
