Google Chrome makes it easier for iPhone users to separate work and play
Unless you work in a government agency or deal with extremely sensitive corporate stuff, chances are high that your company allows you to use a personal phone for handling professional stuff. Some companies require an internal VPN or a separate work profile to access internet-based material. For desktop, it's easier to switch between different users in Chrome. On Android devices, users can create a work profile that keeps their work data discrete and secure. No such convenience has existed for iPhone so far. That is finally changing in 2025, as after a long wait, Google is finally turning its attention to iPhone users. What's changing? Moving ahead, Chrome on iOS will allow users to switch between personal and work profiles with ease. The profile switching process will be seamless, but all browsing activity and saved data will be neatly separated across each profile.

'Organizations can block employees from visiting unallowed GenAI sites at a category level and redirect them to the approved corporate services to prevent ShadowAI risks,' the company said in a press release.
