9to5Mac reports Google’s instant previews is now on Google’s search results on iOS devices.

Instant Previews, which was introduced on Google’s desktop results back in November 2010, enables you to see a preview of the web page before you click through to that page.

Many iOS users on both iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices are reporting seeing the instant previews button on the right side of the search result. The icon looks like a magnifying glass and seems to replace the “star” icon used to bookmark (or starred results) your favorite results in Google.

Here is a picture of the interface taken by 9to5Mac:
