After testing pre-orders for books on Google Play, after updating Google Drive to support spreadsheet editing on mobile, and after adding more supported languages on YouTube, the Mountain View-based technology behemoth is also announcing that it has updated Chrome app for iOS. Perhaps, the best feature of version 23.0.1271.91 is Passbook integration. This simply means that iOS users can now save their boarding passes and tickets from the mobile browser.
