Google brings tab groups to Chrome for iPhone, iPad: How to use and more

Chrome tab groups

Chrome users on iPad and iPhone have a neat feature to look forward to. Google has begun rolling out tab groups feature for iOs and iPadOS. The feature was already available on Android and desktop versions of Chrome.

iPhone and iPad users will be able to group related tabs together. Furthermore, they will also be able to give them a custom name and colour for quick identification.

To start, simply open the tab grid, long-press a tab and select "Add Tab to New Group." Once the tabs are grouped together, you can rearrange them any way you like. You can add different colours as well.

Google will soon launch a feature which will allow users to save and sync tab groups, so they are automatically available across all their desktop and mobile devices. “You’ll be able to start a project in one place and pick it up in a different one, without losing your work,” said Kayce Hawkins, product manager, Chrome, in a blog.

Hawkins said that the tab group will automatically sync to your desktop, so you can easily resume any browsing activity when you open Chrome on your computer.

Google is also experimenting with suggesting pages to revisit based on tabs you opened up on your other devices. “There’s no need to bookmark the page or remember the exact URL — Chrome will proactively suggest pages to revisit on the Chrome New Tab page on Android, iOS and desktop,” said Hawkins.

“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,” said Hawkins.
