Signing into your multiple accounts is about to become simpler if you have an iPhone and store all of your passwords on Chrome. You can choose Chrome as your Autofill provider with the most recent version of the iOS browser (version M104). Additionally, the app for iPhones and iPads will receive new “improved safe browsing” and Chrome Actions.
Many of these capabilities, such as the Password Manager, which uses information you’ve chosen to save in the browser to sign into apps on your phone, are already present in Chrome for Android. When enabled on your iPhone or iPad, Enhanced Safe Browsing will determine whether the websites you are viewing are risky. When you enter your credentials into a website, Chrome also alerts you if your username and password have been compromised in a third-party data breach. Then it will exhort you to replace them everywhere.
The first page you see when you restart Chrome is something that Android users are still missing out on. In Chrome for iOS, “We’re making it easier for you to find new material or start a fresh search when you’ve been away for awhile,” according to Google’s blog post. This should still allow you to access your recent tabs while making it simpler to browse information, launch a new Search, or quickly return to your most often visited websites. Google continued, “Android will also get this soon.”
The new language detection model might be useful for users who depend on Chrome’s built-in translation features. You can now “accurately determine the language of the page you’re visiting, and if it needs to be translated to meet your preferences,” according to Google, with the help of this new on-device version.
On iOS, Chrome Actions will make tasks like deleting your browsing history and opening a private tab simpler. Instead of searching through the three-dot menu for those alternatives, you may simply type a search word into the URL bar. You can access the page to delete your browsing history, for instance, by selecting “Delete history.” Additionally, you will still see the suggested search results beneath the suggested Action if you were looking for information on that setting online.
The three-dot menu was additionally modified by Google “to be scannable and to highlight the most crucial locations, such as your history, passwords, and settings.” According to the firm, actions like making bookmarks or adding items to your reading list will be located higher up in the vertical menu and “your most often used destinations will be available at the top of the menu.”
