Google introduced this Monday (10/05) the new update of the Chrome browser for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch, which finally arrives in version 90, released last month for Android. This is good news for users of Google's browser on iPhone and iOS, who went a long time without updates, until version 87. released in April. In addition to the app, users who have their devices updated to iOS version 14 will also receive Google search bar widgets for the Dino game.
According to Google, the iPhone version of Chrome 90 has three widget options. A two-block search interface that allows for quick text and voice searches, a single-block search widget with just the Google shortcut button, and a widget for playing Chrome Dino, the game available to users when the browser is offline.
New Chrome features on iOS bring iPhone usage closer to the Android user experience.
Faster updates on iPhone
According to Google, in addition to the widgets, the update also brings the option to edit usernames and passwords saved in the browser settings. As mentioned, this is the second update for Chrome for iOS in just over a month, after several months of waiting. With all this time without an update, the app may have seen its popularity (which was never high) decrease among iPhone users.
According to Google, unlike Android, where updates are monthly, the delay in updates for iOS would be due to compatibility with the operating system Apple, which requires a lot of tweaking to work properly. Apparently, Apple and Google have found the balance for a healthy relationship between the companies, providing solutions for some services to competing platforms. In recent months, for example, Apple started to provide the service Apple TV+ to Chromecast.
The latest version of Google Chrome is available for download on the App Store.
