Google, the search engine king, recently announced
an upgrade for the Chrome app for iOS and Android, for the version 32. The new
apps will help in bringing down the data consumption of users by as much as
50%. The affordability of smartphones and improved access to internet has led
to the increased popularity of internet surfing, which has shifted from
desktops to laptops and now smartphones and tablets as well.
A survey showed that more than 20% users in America
make use of their mobile phones for browsing the web. Google, seeing this count
says that the chief issue is linked with the data consumption on a cell phone
or tablet, if it is not connected with a Wi-Fi network. And specially when
using a 3G or 4G connection, data allowance can run out within days, even
before the user being aware about the same.
The new update on Google will make use of data
compression and bandwidth management on iOS and Android devices, which will
bring down data consumption by almost half. After the version gets updated,
following steps would be needed to undertake. Start at Settings>Bandwidth
Management>Reduced Data Usage, you just need to put the switch on, which
would then start saving data and managing bandwidth automatically. You can also
check the bandwidth saved every month by checking the menu. The feature will
also initiate the Safe Browsing Technology for malicious WebPages by Chrome.
Announcement about adding Google Translate to Google
Chrome for iOS soon have also been made. This is to help Chrome translate pages
of foreign languages easily, for this user will just need to click Translate in
the translation bar.
Another app in the new and updated version Chrome 32
is the shortcut app. This will give users freedom to create shortcuts of their
favorite websites in the homescreen to help them in enjoying easier and faster
web browsing. For this you will need to
visit a website and select “Add to homescreen” alternative there. Whenever a
saved website is opened by clicking on the shortcut, a user can get access to a
full-screen experience and it will appear as a different app in the Android app
switcher.
The new and updated version of Chrome has already
been started to roll out and the same will reach users globally within just few
days from now. The update can also be downloaded by navigating through the
Google Play Store or the iTunes App Store.
The Chrome for Desktop app by Google too was updated
recently. The new features added were enhanced Safe Browsing and the addition
of noisy tabs.
