Google Chrome Enhances iPhones with Translation, Lens and Maps Enhancements: Details
Google has recently revealed that it will be introducing four fresh features to the Chrome app for iPhone and iPad, which will be a welcome development for iPhone users globally. These features will include enhanced integration with Google Maps, Google Calendar, and Google Lens.
Check out the four updates coming to Chrome for iOS:
Google Maps
When you see an address in Chrome on iOS, you no longer need to switch apps to find it on the map. Chrome now uses artificial intelligence to recognize web page addresses, and when you press and hold a detected address, you’ll see the option to view it in mini Google Maps right in Chrome, Google said in a blog post.
Google Calendar
Google Calendar events can be created directly in Chrome without having to switch apps. Chrome users can press and hold on a detected date and choose to add it to Google Calendar. The Chrome app automatically creates and populates a calendar event with time, location, and description.
Google translation
The US tech giant has expanded Chrome’s translation capabilities, and now it’s possible to highlight a specific point and long-press to get the translation directly into the Chrome browser. You can now also translate a specific part of the page using Google Translate directly in Chrome on your iOS device.
Google Lens
With Google Lens, you can search with images and translate languages in real time. You can already use Lens in Chrome on iOS by long-pressing an image you find while browsing.
“And in the coming months, you’ll also be able to use your camera to search for new photos you’ve taken and photos from your camera roll. The Lens icon will appear in Chrome’s iOS address bar, Google said.
Chrome for iPhone and iPad can be downloaded for free from the App Store.
