New Chrome mobile shortcuts let you call a restaurant from your address bar


iOS users will get the feature later this year.

Google has added new Chrome Actions to mobile that will let you call, read reviews for, or get directions to a restaurant or other business — all right from the address bar. First introduced in 2020, Google Actions lets you quickly perform tasks from the address bar by typing in select queries, like “edit passwords,” “delete history,” or “translate this page.” It’s one of a few address bar shortcuts Google offers, like the “@” shortcut that lets you quickly find bookmarks, tabs, and links from your history. In addition, iOS users will also now see trending search suggestions in their Chrome address bar when they click on it from the New Tab page.
