Chrome update for iPad gets iOS 9 multitasking features

Google updates its Chrome browser on iOS platform to bring some key iOS 9 features into its program. The universal iOS app for Chrome gets features like Split View, Slide Over, and Picture-in-Picture—perfect when you need to multitask. However, you probably need to remember that Split View only works on the iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, and soon-to-be-released iPad Pro. The iOS app also gets autofill feature you’ve seen in the desktop version. This works both for the iPad and iPhone.

CLIP+ clipboard manager for iOS supports multitasking

It's a bit tedious having to copy text on mobile. CLIP+ hopes to ease that suffering for you. The app now works with both the split-screen and slide-over features for the iPad on iOS 9. And when you save a text, you can find it using Spotlight. The app also uses Safari shared links extension so all URLs you save to the app will open directly on Safari. It'll ignore text that appear to be passwords though. Also, when you save the URL of a GIF, it shows up on the app or your notfication center widget and loops endlessly until you decide what to do with it.
