Google Chrome’s new feature prevents typos from ruining your URLs on Android, iOS

Say goodbye to URL typos with Google Chrome’s new feature on iOS and Android. Chrome is now one step ahead of typos with its latest feature on iOS and Android. The new feature can now detect potential typos in URLs and suggest corrections, saving users time and frustration. This feature already existed for Chrome on Computers. This is especially beneficial for people with dyslexia or other language impairments.

“Earlier this year, we introduced a new feature in the Chrome address bar that detects typos and displays suggested websites based on what Chrome thinks you meant. This will help people with dyslexia, language learners or anyone who makes typos get to the content they’re looking for faster. Today, this feature is expanding to Chrome on Android and iOS, so you have the same experience across all your devices,” Google announced in a blog post. The new accessibility feature detects typos in URL and suggests websites based on the corrections.

Once the feature is enabled, Chrome will check for typos in URLs as you type them into the address bar. If Chrome detects a typo, it will suggest a correction below the URL. You can then tap on the correction to open the correct website.

Google has also rolled out a couple other new features along with URL typo error such as a new identity attribute for the disability community on Google Maps and Search that gives customers more details about a business and provide merchants an option to self-identify as a member of the community.

Lens in Maps that will use your phone’s screen reader to read points of interest around you out loud, which might be helpful for users who aren’t able to read their screens. Google is also bringing wheelchair-accessible places info to business and place pages on Maps.
