Chrome is one of the software that has set the bar for other browsers. The software has the same performance as its Windows and Android version, which is much better than Apple's Safari browser. You can expect most websites to load faster on Chrome than on your iPhone's default browser.
On the other hand, the performance can be a problem for your device's CPU. Chrome will take up most of your phone's CPU performance. This can slow down your iPhone and take up most of your battery.
User convenience features
Since Chrome is a part of Google, the app works well with Gmail, YouTube, and other software from the company. If you have a link in Gmail message, it will open in Chrome instead of Safari. YouTube links will also open to the iPhone app instead of the browser only.

Our take
Chrome will take up most of a phone or computer’s performance no matter which device it will run on. In return, the browser runs faster than the built-in software for iPhones. You can also sync all of your browser history, passwords, and other data with the app. It is also handy to have links from other Google apps to open on Chrome and vice versa.
Should you download it?
Yes. Chrome still provides a better user experience on iPhones and other Apple devices.

The easiest way to have your iOS app open links in Chrome is to use the OpenInChromeController class. This API is described here along with the URI schemes it supports.
Using OpenInChromeController to open links #
The OpenInChromeController class provides methods that encapsulate the URI schemes and the scheme replacement process also described in this document. Use this class to check if Chrome is installed or to specify the URL to open.
Methods #
- isChromeInstalled: returns YES if Chrome is installed
- openInChrome: opens a given URL in Chrome
For example, use the OpenInChromeController class as follows:
Downloading the class file #
The OpenInChromeController class file is available here. Copy it into your Xcode installation.
The rest of this document describes the underpinnings of this API.
URI schemes #
Chrome for iOS handles the following URI Schemes:
Chrome Ios
- googlechrome for http
- googlechromes for https
Chrome Ios Extensions
To check if Chrome is installed, an app can simply check if either of these URI schemes is available:
This step is useful in case an app would like to change the UI depending on if Chrome is installed or not. For instance the app could add an option to open URLs in Chrome in a share menu or action sheet.
To actually open a URL in Chrome, the URI scheme provided in the URL must be changed from http or https to the Google Chrome equivalent of googlechrome or googlechromes respectively. The following sample code opens a URL in Chrome:
If Chrome is installed, the above code converts the URI scheme found in the URL to the Google Chrome equivalent. When Google Chrome opens, the URL passed as a parameter will be opened in a new tab.
If Chrome is not installed the user can be prompted to download it from the App Store. If the user agrees, the app can open the App Store download page using the following:
