Google's goal is to make Chrome more user-friendly and engaging for Android and iPhone users. This time, four new features have been introduced specifically for iOS users. Here's everything you should know about them.
4 New Improvements to Chrome on iOS
Google Lens Lets Users Search with Images and Text Simultaneously
For those with a visual query, the “Add to Search” feature now lets users combine text and images for more detailed results. You can even search by colour, streamlining the process and making it simpler to find exactly what you need.
Make Room by Storing Your Files and Photos on Drive and Photos
If you’re tired of seeing the “Storage Almost Full” notification on your iPhone, this feature is just what you need. You can now quickly free up space by saving web content directly to Drive and Photos.
To save a photo to your Drive, choose the Google Drive option when you save the file. On the other hand, to save an image from Chrome to Photos, long-press the image and select “Save in Google Photos” from the context menu.
Shop Smarter with the Help of Shopping Insights
When you search for a product and Chrome detects Shopping Insights for what you’re browsing, you’ll notice a “Good Deal Now” notification pop-up in your address bar. It will provide details like price history, price tracking, and alternative buying options. For now, this feature is available only to US users, but the company plans to expand it to additional regions in the coming months.
Tap Once to View the Map of an Address
If you come across an address for a specific location while browsing a website, tap the underlined address, and a mini-map of the location will appear right in Chrome. This feature is still being tested and will gradually become available worldwide over the next few months.
More features are expected to roll out in the coming months, so, stay tuned for more coverage on this.
