- Users can now batch import their tabs from their old phone to their new phone.
- When tapping on the tab switcher in Chrome on your new phone, you’ll see a pop-up asking if you want to open all of your old tabs or for you to pick which tabs you want to open.
- This feature is working on the Chrome Beta and Dev channels, but needs to be enabled with a flag on stable.
There are plenty of hassles that come with switching to a new phone. One of the smaller annoyances is losing all the browser tabs you had open on your old phone. Thankfully, at least this problem could soon be solved with a new batch import system in Chrome.
While using the beta version of the Chrome browser (v128) on a new phone, one of our writers was greeted by a new pop-up. This pop-up (seen below) invites the user to transfer tabs that are open on other devices over to their new device. The user can pick which device they want to import their tabs from; they also have the choice to open all tabs or select what tabs they want to import through the “Review all tabs” option.
