Widgets
Wroblewski’s favorite Google app iOS widget is Google Photos that surfaces “photos from years past, recent highlights, favorite activities and more…”
And a new update today is the neat option to customize the Google Search widget on iOS.
Chrome handoff
If you’re a Chrome user and don’t have this set up already, you’ll want to. Handoff support means you can pick up browsing on your Mac where you left off on iPhone, just like with Safari.
- In the iOS Chrome app, head to the bottom right and tap the three-dot icon > Settings
- Choose Privacy
- Under “Other Devices” set Handoff to on
The rest of Wroblewski’s recommendations include sending directions from Google Maps to iPhone, using a Siri Shortcut with Google News, setting up Face/Touch ID for Google Drive, and more.
