To utilize this new syncing feature, users must update their applications on all devices, sign in using the same email, and activate the Sync feature in the settings. Currently, the iOS app primarily functions as a sidebar sync tool rather than offering the full capabilities expected from mobile browsers. This situation showcases the ongoing evolution of cross-device synchronization, alongside the journey to fulfill mobile browsing needs entirely.
Feedback from users indicates an enhanced coherence across devices, emphasizing the ease of accessing stored tabs and spaces when moving between desktop and mobile. The awaited full-functionality Android mobile browser reflects the desires for a comprehensive and cohesive browsing tool across different platforms.
