If you are unaware of the Arc search browser, it’s a popular Chrome competitor available on Windows, macOS, and iOS (along with iPadOS). While Android users have been missing out on this minimal AI browser, they soon won’t, as Arc has announced that the Browser is also coming to Google’s operating system.
The arrival of the Arc Search browser on Android has been confirmed in a reply to a Threads question about when it might arrive on Google’s mobile OS. The official Arc Internet account shared a brief clip of the App running on what seems to be a Google Pixel, hinting that it is “coming soon.”
There’s no word on when exactly the Arc AI Search browser will be released on Android, but one could speculate that it will launch before the end of the year.
