You can set Google Chrome and Gmail as your default browser and inbox apps on iOS. If you’re deep into the Google ecosystem, you might prefer it. Chrome unlocked most of the Android experience I missed while using iOS. I also liked that the password chain was immediately available when I needed it, so loading my accounts into the iCloud Keychain was easier. And what’s more: my search queries and other activity that I want to have tracked within Google remain the same across platforms, so I can continue where I left off when I go to my Windows PC or back to Android.
