Chrome for iOS has also gained a feature that has been available on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android for ages, called Autofill. This means that you can use Chrome side-by-side with another app if you’re using a device that supports it (Split View works on iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, and iPad Pro, while Slide Over requires at least iPad Air or iPad mini 2).

Apple’s iOS 9 also supports Slide Over and Picture in Picture on iPad Pro, iPad Air or later, and iPad mini 2 or later.
iPad users now have awesome news regarding their devices: Google Chrome is ready to offer more split view tasks to play with at the same time and on a single screen.
You can get the new Chrome for iPad on Apple’s App Store.
Chrome for iOS is getting a couple of new improvements, Google announced on Friday.
According to the change log, the Chrome 46 for iOS also comes with improved handling of RTL languages.
