The process of cross-device syncing in Chrome used to involve logging in and pressing the Sync button, a method that has been in use for 15 years. Recently, Chrome on Android and desktop is streamlining the process by shifting to immediate syncing upon logging into a new device, eliminating the need to manually select syncing.
Chrome refers to this new process as the “new identity model,” which was first implemented in Chrome 118 on iOS towards the end of last year.
