Users expect and deserve more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now Google is fighting back, with four significant new updates to Chrome on iOS, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/chrome\/chrome-ios-updates-november-2024\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/chrome\/chrome-ios-updates-november-2024\/\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/chrome\/chrome-ios-updates-november-2024\/\" aria-label=\"announced on Tuesday\">announced on Tuesday<\/a>, that up the ante in the Chrome versus Safari stakes. Google is on an iOS user recruitment drive\u2014reports suggest it wants to switch 300 million iPhone users from Safari to Chrome. Apple clearly wants to stop that happening.<\/p>\n<p>The real push to turn Apple users away from Chrome came in the form of a powerful video ad in July. Filmed in the style of Hitchock\u2019s \u2018<em>The Birds,<\/em>\u2019 the ad featured flying spies following users, watching their online browsing until opening Safari stopped them. The ad was titled \u2018Flock,\u201d perhaps a nod to Google Chrome\u2019s ill-fated privacy sandbox which started life as FLoC\u2014the federated learning of cohorts.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Chrome\u2019s update for iOS users suddenly pushes the browser\u2019s capabilities materially forwards The most exciting new feature is all about AI, with a new option to use the brilliant Google Lens \u201cto search with images and text at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Google explains, \u201cpreviously, you could take a photo or upload one from your gallery to search an image with Google Lens in Chrome on iOS. Now, you can also add words to your visual query to search with images and text at the same time. This allows you to perform more complex and specific searches, with more helpful and relevant results.\u201d This is also about pushing Gemini AI onto iPhones as ChatGPT readies its formal debut with iOS 18.2<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDepending on your search,\u201d Google says, \u201cyou might also get an AI Overview that brings together the most relevant information from across the web.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2024\/11\/10\/google-gemini-app-iphone\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2024\/11\/10\/google-gemini-app-iphone\/\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2024\/11\/10\/google-gemini-app-iphone\/\" aria-label=\"There are also reports this week that Google might be readying a standalone Gemini app for iPhone\">There are also reports this week that Google might be readying a standalone Gemini app for iPhone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"\/><\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-4\" role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion><\/p>\n<p class=\"color-body light-text\">New Google Lens features for iPhone<\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>Google<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The second update takes a a nibble at iCloud, with the option to store photos and files in Google Drive. \u201cTired of getting the \u2018Storage Almost Full\u2019 notification on your iPhone or iPad?\u201d Google teases. \u201cGood news: You can now free up storage space on your device by saving content from the web to Drive and Photos directly from Chrome on iOS\u2026 If you want to save an image from Chrome to Photos, simply long-press the picture and select \u2018Save in Google Photos.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The third new feature is enhanced online shopping with new pricing insights.

Simple maths suggests that\u2019s around 700 million of iPhone\u2019s 1.4 billion users, and that Google needs to push 300 million more iPhone users to adopt Chrome for this to work.<\/p>\n<p>Chrome dominates desktops and Android, it\u2019s only Safari\u2019s hold across Apple\u2019s ecosystem that seemingly keeps it at bay. Ceding iPhone ground to Google just as the AI race hots up would seem a very bad move for Apple, and so I would expect the Safari versus Chrome battle to run and run and Apple to respond.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-2\" role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion><\/p>\n<p class=\"color-body light-text\">Safari billboard in NYC, July 2024<\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>Apple \/ @UKZak<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In this, there are two threats for Apple to overcome.
