Google is rolling out some pretty handy features to Chrome that are set to make managing browser tabs much easier across both desktop and mobile devices. In their latest blog post, the tech giant revealed some updates that will help users stay more organized—especially if you’re one of those people who constantly have too many tabs open (guilty!).
One of the biggest updates is that tab groups, which have been available for Android and desktop users for a while, are finally coming to iPhone and iPad. This feature lets you group related tabs together and label them with custom names and colors. It’s great for people who have a ton of tabs open for different reasons—work, shopping, vacation planning—you name it. From now on, iOS users will be able to get their hands on it. All you have to do is update Chrome, go to your tab grid, long-press on a tab, and select “Add Tab to New Group.” From there, you can give the group a name and even assign a color to it, so everything stays organized.
Another feature that’s set to make life easier is the ability to sync these tab groups across multiple devices. Imagine this: you’re doing some research or planning a trip on your phone, and you’ve got all these important tabs open. Now, instead of losing track of them or needing to open everything again on your computer, Chrome lets you sync those tab groups so they appear on your desktop automatically. It’s seamless and takes away the headache of keeping track of your work across different screens. Google says this feature is already available for Android and desktop users, and it’s coming soon to iOS too.
Google is also testing a feature that could eliminate the need to bookmark certain websites altogether. Soon, Chrome will suggest websites you’ve previously opened on other devices, right when you open a new tab. So, if you’ve been working on something on your phone, Chrome will give you a little nudge to pick up where you left off when you switch to your desktop, or vice versa. This feature is still in the experimental phase, and Google plans to start testing it in the next few weeks. No word yet on when it will be fully available, but it’s definitely something to look forward to.
