User convenience was at the heart of Google’s recent announcement that its Chrome browser would be available on Apple’s iOS platform.
“People often use their mobile device for both work and personal tasks, requiring them to sign in and out with different Google accounts,” – Google
To address these problems, Google has released seamless account switching on Chrome on iOS. This new feature allows users to easily maintain their managed accounts’ data separately. This new feature is designed to make the user experience easier while providing increased security.
