Watch out Siri, iOS users will soon have yet another option when it comes to taking to their phones. Google announced that an update to Chrome for iPad and iPhone will soon be available that enables voice search within the browser. A new microphone icon will be present in the browser’s omnibox — when tapped, users can try out such voice queries as “How many miles from San Antonio to Dallas?” or “Who stars in The Internship?”
The update will be reaching the App Store in the coming days and also includes better cache management for faster reloading of web pages. Google also notes that third-party apps can now give users the option to open links directly in Chrome.
So if Chrome is your browser of choice, keep an eye on the App Store for the latest update set to arrive soon.
