Google just updated the Chrome browser with three intelligent features for better tab management and organization in the popular browser. These updates are coming to iPhone, iPad, Android, and desktop.
Google explained, “With these new tab features in Chrome, we’re making it easier for you to keep track of tasks and conveniently revisit your favorite websites, all while switching between your devices at home or on the go.” You can already create color-coded tab groups in Google Chrome on Android and the desktop. With the latest version of Chrome on iOS, you’ll be able to do the same on the iPhone and iPad. Just press-and-hold a tab, pick “Add Tab To a New Group,” give it a name, and assign a group color for easy sorting. Then you can move relevant tabs to this group by dragging-and-dropping or long-pressing on the relevant tab.
Tab groups used to be a local feature, meaning they only lived on the device where you created the tab group. But these tab groups sync across devices now. You can create a tab group on your phone and access it on the big screen. Tab groups are a great way to organize research for projects, but without sync they aren’t as useful. Tab group sync is rolling out to desktop and mobile devices.
Speaking of better cross-platform syncing, Chrome will also suggest sites you’ve visited across platforms. If you sync your browser history across devices, you can simply look for the site you visited on a different device. It can take some time to dig through the history though, so Google Chrome will now present a “Continue this Tab” panel on the home screen. That way, you can seamlessly pick up a browsing activity on the desktop wherever you left it on your phone. Right now, the Continue This Tab panel only suggests a single website and Google AI automatically decides which tab you might want to revisit. This particular feature is starting as a limited experiment on Android, iOS, and desktop, so you might not see it right away.
