# Google Chrome Update for iOS: Key Features You Need to Know

Chrome, Google’s browser, now owns a new update on iOS that is loaded with enhancements that seek to optimise [user interface](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/22909/user-interface-objects-in-cocoa), security, and abilities. This latest update is for [iPhone and iPad](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50332/how-to-back-up-your-iphone-and-ipad) only, making Chrome even more dominant as one of the go-to browsers for iOS devices. Below is the brief on the new features that have been rolled out with the update.

1. **[Enhanced Security](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12911/lotteries-to-come-up-with-enhanced-security-features) Features**

The update brings enhanced facilities for the detection of phishing and malware containment. Chrome has also updated the app for iOS, where the browser notifies its users when they try to open a dangerous site and does not let them do this. Google has also expanded on the [password manager](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/102777/how-to-set-up-a-password-manager-on-your-laptop) feature so that users can quickly create good, hard-to-crack passwords and store them on different platforms.

2. **Beyond Smart Search: Inclusion of [Artificial Intelligence](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/44601/impact-of-artificial-intelligence-in-digital-marketing-is-huge-and-worthy)**

Search is getting AI-fied in new ways at Google, and smarter suggestions are on the way to iOS. Now, when you type into the search bar, Chrome gives you context-based results, so you don’t have to wait for the page to load. For instance, when you are using Google Chrome to search for recent [news](https://www.mindstick.com/developersection/news) or local restaurants, it offers recommendations on recent news around your state or city or on nearby restaurants depending on your [current location](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34690/how-to-automatically-fill-our-current-location-in-the-places-textarea-for-my-mvc-application) and habits.

3. **Streamlined Tab Management**

Most browsers have had the option in one way or the other to create new tabs in different arrangements. This update entails a new tab bar with a grid-like feel, which makes it easier to get from one open tab to another, or, you know, just get rid of annoying ones. Chrome has also implemented “Group Tabs,” which means users can collect similar tabs in one group to find them easily. It is especially useful to users who perform work, research, and personal browsing at the same time.

4. **Enhanced Execution and Power Conservation**

Google said the new version of Chrome is less resource-intensive and loads pages quicker than its predecessor. This optimisation is particularly relevant for those who use iPhone devices and wish to have battery power saved for as long as possible while not losing the productivity of an iPhone.

5**. Customisable Start Page**

The iOS version of Chrome now offers greater freedom in how and where users set up the start page. They can also save the link to a frequently visited website and modify the background picture and the arrangement of links on the page.

## Availability and its update process

This latest Chrome is found via the [Google Play Store](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1612/donald-trump-s-truth-social-application-would-be-available-in-the-google-play-store-last-may) for Android devices and on the App Store for iOS. All that users require is to download the [latest version](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159157/what-is-the-latest-version-of-c-sharp) of the existing application to be able to access these features. If you are presently without [automatic updates](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/102802/how-to-set-up-automatic-updates-on-a-linux-laptop), open the App Store and click on “Update” next to Chrome.

This latest update further cements Google’s pledge to deliver a fast, secure, and reliable browsing service for those on their Apple devices. With such improvements, Chrome retains the moniker of being the best mobile web browser.
