Google has updated Chrome for iPhone with a number of new features, takes the latest version to 40.0.2214.61.

The app is getting new Material Design UI and support for handoff.

The Chrome app is getting a makeover by using all the elements of the Material Design that we have seen on the Android 5.0 Lollipop. The browser gets bold colors, refreshed look and small animations. Google stated that the latest update brings “bold graphics, fluid motion, and tactile surfaces,” to the app. As expected the Chrome browser gets iOS 8 and optimizations and support for larger screen on the iPhones.

  • New look with Material Design bringing bold graphics, fluid motion, and tactile surfaces
  • iOS 8 optimizations and support for bigger phones
  • Support handoff from Chrome to your default browser on OS X
  • Stability improvements and bug fixes

The updated app also gains support for Apple’s Handoff feature, which allows users to pick up where they left off in one app in another on OS X.
