PARIS: Google is now letting iPhone and iPad users take a cutting-edge version of its browser for a spin. The company on Friday quietly launched a new Chrome for iOS public beta program, which leverages Apple’s TestFlight system to give users the chance to try out a new version of the browser.
Users can sign up by going to Google’s Chrome Beta page on their iOS device, and they’ll then be taken to a form where they can enter their name, email address and agree to Chrome’s terms of service. After that, Google will send an email to confirm their email address.
Opting into the beta program ought to give users access to a version of the Chrome app that will have features before consumers get access to them. According to a post by 9to5Mac, that includes a new app icon that takes advantage of the 3D Touch capabilities built into the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.
Users can press down hard on the Chrome beta icon and get a quick access menu for running a Web search and opening new tabs in both a standard browser window and Chrome’s Incognito Mode.
