- Google is enhancing the mobile search experience with new features for Chrome on Android and iOS.
- Among the new features are expanded Chrome Actions for local businesses and personalized address bar shortcuts.
- The tablet address bar is getting redesigned, and trending search suggestions are expanding to iOS.
Google has announced several new features coming to its Chrome browser on Android and iOS, aimed at making mobile browsing as efficient and user-friendly as desktop browsing. These updates, which are partially part of the M126 rollout this week, include enhancements in search, navigation, and personalized content delivery.
The first big update is the inclusion of new Chrome Actions, which can now let users interact directly with local businesses from their search results. For instance, searching for a restaurant might offer quick buttons to call them, get directions, or read reviews, etc. This feature is currently live on Chrome for Android and is expected to arrive on iOS in the fall.
