Google is working on an on-device data migration feature on iOS that will let Safari users import their browsing data directly into Chrome. Here are the details.<\/p>\n
Feature likely roll out in the coming weeks<\/p>\n
As spotted by The MacObserver<\/a>, Google is working on a guided \u201cSafari import\u201d tool that will make it easier for users to switch from Safari<\/a>, a process currently limited to the desktop.<\/p>\n The tool will reportedly rely on the ZIP file generated in the \u2018Export Browsing Data\u2019 section under iPhone Settings > Apps > Safari, and will offer a step-by-step import flow that lets users choose which data types they want to bring over during the migration.<\/p>\n Options will include passwords, credit cards, browsing history, and bookmarks, along with a disclaimer that \u201cYour data will be saved to your Google Account.\u201d<\/p>\n Here is the import flow, as The MacObserver reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n According to the report, \u201cWhen the import is done, Chrome warns you that the file you created contains private info. It gives you a quick option to delete that file right away,\u201d helping keep sensitive and personal information safer.<\/p>\n The feature is currently being tested in Chrome 145 for TestFlight users<\/a>. Although the beta is currently full, Chrome 144 is the current stable release, so it likely won\u2019t be long before the feature reaches the public version.<\/p>\n Accessory deals on Amazon<\/p>\n \t\t FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
