Perplexity is starting a limited beta rollout of its Comet browser for Android, with only select users receiving invites so far. The first feedback and screenshots from these testers show that Comet for Android closely follows the desktop experience, focusing on browser-style navigation with homepage widgets, tab management, a settings menu, and suggested prompts. Notably, features like dark mode and a built-in ad blocker are included from the start, adding clear value for users who want a cleaner and more personalized browsing experience on mobile.

The initial user interface appears in an early state, indicating that further refinements are expected as feedback comes in during the beta period. Early reports highlight smooth performance, but it’s not yet confirmed if all advanced features, especially those with agent-like automation, will be present from day one. Given Comet’s reputation for background tasks and AI-driven suggestions on desktop, it’s plausible that Android users will gain similar functionality, though the full “agentic” experience where the browser can actively manage tasks hasn’t surfaced yet. The Android app will likely be most useful to current Perplexity users and those interested in AI-powered browsing.

Perplexity’s move to launch Comet on Android reflects its broader product strategy of making AI-powered browsing accessible across more platforms, following the earlier launches on desktop and web. The company is steadily investing in agentic capabilities, automation, and privacy features, and Comet’s mobile version could become a major step in bringing these concepts to a wider audience. The timeline for a general release, and an iOS launch, remains uncertain, but with the beta now live, expansion to more users seems likely as testing progresses.
