Google iPhone is making users easy to manage your work and personal browsing without hassle of signing in every time and out. In a new update for Chrome for iOS, users can now switch between their work and individual Google accounts, while keeping data separate from each account. This update is particularly useful for those who use the same phone for both office and personal work, something that becomes very common with hybrid and remote work setup. This gives companies better control over what their employees are doing on their work accounts without interfering with their personal use.
With this update, when users switch to their managed (or work) account, Chrome keeps all related browsing – including history, tabs and saved passwords – within the profile of that account. In this way, personal data does not mix with work data. A message also appears on-screen when someone switchs to his work account, so they know that they have entered a managed, company-controlled environment. “Local data and materials (including tabs, including tabs, history and passwords) remain within the browsing experience,” both give more peace to the last users and IT appreciation, “said Google. blog post,
This new account-switching feature is part of Google’s attempt to support their own device (Byod) setup, where employees use their own phones or computers for work. It brings more iphones to suit Android phones, with better work and personal isolation for some time.
The new update also comes with better data protection tools. Once a user signs a managed account on Chrome, companies can apply strict security settings, such as blocking risky websites or keeping an eye on browsing behavior through a reporting tool. These security are already available on chrome for Android and desktop, and now they are also being extended to iPhones.
The company said, “This better account switching experience and data separation enables better businesses to allow employees to use the equipment of their choice,” the company said.
IT teams can now monitor mobile browser activity through Google Admin console or other security tools. They can also block access to unpublished sites, for example, users can prevent the unpublished AI tools and indicate them to the approved work equipment instead.
For businesses, this update adds a layer of safety without the need to control the entire phone. And for users, this means that they can do their work without giving personal privacy on their own equipment.
Organizations can try these features for free through Chrome Enterprise Core, or detect more advanced protection through the chrome enterprise premium depending on their requirements.
