14 DAY TRIAL // Google proudly announced today the release of Chrome 32.0 for iPhone and iPad users, offering translation tools, a new way to reduce data usage (shaving a few bucks off your monthly bill), and a new Tab Page update.
Jason Kersey writes on the Chrome Releases Blog, “The Chrome team is excited to announce Chrome 32 for iPhone and iPad. Chrome 32.0.1700.20 contains a number of improvements.”
The first feature highlighted by Google is the new Translate tool which lets you translate pages with a tap. The search giant explains:
“When you come across a page written in a language that you don’t understand, just look for the translation bar. One tap and the page is quickly translated for you.”
Probably the feature users will appreciate the most is the browser’s new data filtering tool which works behind the scenes to reduce your cellular footprint.
“Reduce your data usage by up to 50%. Enable this feature and view your savings: Settings > Bandwidth > Reduce Data Usage,” Google says.
Finally, users will be able to search the web faster and easier thanks to enhancements to the tabs.
“New Tab Page update to make searching faster and easier (This feature is being rolled out and will be available to all users over time, beginning on iPhone).”
Rounding up this update are some stability fixes, as well as some security improvements.
“The update will be rolling out in the App Store over the next few hours,” Kersey wrote earlier today. By now, the new Chrome 32.0 should be out in all countries.
“Known issues are available on the Chrome support site. If you find a new issue, please let us know by filing a bug,” Kersey adds.
Users can download Google Chrome 32.0 immediately at the supplied link. Requirements include iOS 6.0 and a supported iDevice.
