Call local restaurants using Chrome
Google also said that it has added new Chrome Actions that will help users ‘save time when you’re trying to engage with places like a local business’. Users can call restaurants to make a reservation and even get directions to get there all using a single tap on Chrome. This feature is now live in Chrome on Android, and it will be available to Chrome on iOS in fall this year.
Redesigned address bar on tablets
Google has also updated the Chrome address bar on iPads and Android tablets to take advantage of their larger screen sizes. “…when using the address bar, the website is always visible below the drop-down in case you decide to go back to it,” Google added.
New shortcuts
Additionally, the company has added new shortcut suggestions feature for both Chrome on Android and iOS. This new feature will help users navigate to a website based on what they normally type to get there.
“..maybe you usually type in “schedules” to see times for the City Metro because that word is a part of the site’s description. Thanks to this new feature, City Metro will now appear higher up in your search suggestions whenever you search ‘schedules’,” the company added.
Lastly
Lastly, Google is bringing Trending Searches to Chrome on iOS. Google says these trends will show up below users’ recent searches when they click the address bar from the New Tab page.
