Good news, iPad users: Chrome is about to double the fun on Apple's tablet.

Google on Thursday updated its Chrome browser for iPad with support for the new iOS 9 multitasking feature.

"Often on the web, we're doing a ton of things at once — reading up on an exotic travel location, catching up on social media or booking a hotel," Google Product Manager AbdelKarim Mardini wrote in a blog post. "With that in mind, we're introducing Split View for your iPad to our latest version of Chrome."

Split View works on iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4 and will be supported on iPad Pro when it launches next month, letting you use Chrome side by side with other apps on your tablet — including Safari.

The Chrome update comes after Apple last month rolled out iOS 9 with the long-awaited split-screen multi-tasking feature. Multi-tasking was initially only available with Apple's built-in apps like Safari, but Cupertino has since released an API so that other developers can add support for it, too.

Apple's iOS 9 also supports Slide Over and Picture in Picture on iPad Pro, iPad Air or later, and iPad mini 2 or later.

Meanwhile, Google is also bringing its useful Autofill feature, which is already available on the desktop and Android versions of Chrome, to iOS. The browser will automatically fill out Web forms with information you've entered in the past like your name, email, and address, which should simplify the process of making purchases on your Apple device.

"We're shopping more often than ever on our phones and tablets, but it can be a pain to re-enter credit card information every time you buy something," Mardini wrote.

Head over to the App Store to grab the latest version of Chrome for iOS.
