Apps & Updates

Google has released an updated version of the Google Chrome application for iOS today, bringing at least one interesting new feature to the app: mobile websites that have Cast support will now work with all of your Cast-capable devices such as the Chromecast. It’s unclear how the feature works at the moment, but according to the release notes, developers are going to have to add support to their webpages before they can take advantage of the feature.

Also, the update gets rid of the famous “lip” located at the bottom of the app icon.

The full release notes, as listed on the App Store:

What’s New in Version 36.0.1985.49

Allows mobile sites that have added Cast support to work with your Cast-enabled device.
Stability improvements and bug fixes.
