Fortunately, the Chrome iPhone app does have a button that lets you refresh pages, which we will show you how to find in our tutorial below.

While the mobile Safari app that comes installed on your iPhone is a very good browser, you might find that you prefer to use a different option.

One alternative is the Google Chrome browser app.

It loads very quickly and is easy to use if you are familiar with Google Chrome. But perhaps one of the best features of the Chrome mobile app is the fact that you can view pages that are stored on other computers on which you are signed in with the same Google account.

So if these features are one of the reasons that you have started using the Chrome app, then you are probably happy with the options it provides.

But one feature that you may have difficulty finding is the Refresh button. This is the button that you would push if you want to see if any new content has been added to a page since the last time you loaded it.

Fortunately, this option is available and can be used with two button presses.
