Google Chrome has now given iPhone swipe navigation to move between web pages on iOS. With this update, users can perform swipe actions left or right on the screen to go backward or forward in their browsing history just as they can do on the native iOS navigation. The revision is supposed to enhance the more fluent and familiar touch in the iPhone users. Such swipe actions have become applicable in the new version of Chrome.

Highlights:

• Swipe left or right to navigate browsing history.
• Animations match iOS system navigation closely.
• Provides a unified experience with other iPhone apps.
• Reduces friction between browser and OS gestures.
• Enabled by default in the latest Chrome update.

The change specifically targets the inconsistency of navigation experienced by iPhone users who switch between Safari and chrome. Earlier, the back/forward action in Chrome was different from the complete screen swipes found in iOS. The novel swipe gestures have been made to act as the typical navigation in the operating system. It makes navigation across apps and web browsing easier.

The introduction is about the exact animation to belong to the iOS user expectations of speed and fluidity. Swipes have smooth page transforms when moving off-screen. After Chrome is ready with an update, users will have the swipe gestures sold by default. There is no set up involved to get this feature. Such swipe movements make Chrome more compatible with iOS.

The outcome is noticeably increased usability of Chrome on iPhones. By native interaction words, Chrome becomes instinctive to use since it connects to the device. It reduces the learning path and the search of the site. This release also shows that they are committed to the process of making Chrome the best browser in its use of swipe gestures regarding iPhone users.
