Google Chrome has been adding new features to its mobile app version lately. Recently, it added a feature to its Android client where users can quickly delete the browser activity of the last 15 minutes in a single tap. Now, it has added another feature for both iOS (for iPhones) and Android. This new feature will allow Chrome to detect any typos in URLs when typing in, and it will suggest the right spelling so the user does not end up on the wrong website. This accessibility feature was earlier released on the web client of Chrome, and now it has made its way to smartphones too.

The feature was announced by Google in a blog post on Tuesday, where it said, “Earlier this year, we introduced a new feature in the Chrome address bar that detects typos and displays suggested websites based on what Chrome thinks you meant. This will help people with dyslexia, language learners or anyone who makes typos get to the content they're looking for faster. Today, this feature is expanding to Chrome on Android and iOS, so you have the same experience across all your devices”.

The same will now happen on your smartphone. The feature is likely to be rolled out in a phased manner and you should see it on your phone in the next few days.

Alongside, Google is also releasing a number of other accessibility features across its different services. Let us take a quick look at them.
