Chrome bookmarks on iPad

Yesterday, since Google was crashing and before I looked at the app updates, I deleted Chrome from my iPad and reinstalled it not realizing my bookmarks would be gone too. I saw a response last year about if you didn't back them up, they are gone. However, they do not backup to icloud, so where would a person have backed them up?

As you observe, deleting the Chrome App from your iPad also deletes all associated App data. In common with all Google Apps, any user-data is not backed-up to iCloud - but instead relies upon your personal App data being backed-up to your Google account.


As such, your Chrome Bookmarks are saved are saved by Google - not Apple - but only if you are signed-in to your Google account (if you have one) from the Chrome browser settings.

You are very welcome.


You haven’t mentioned which version of iOS/iPadOS is installed on your iPad. The most recent versions include Apple’s own translation features built-in to Safari, and added the Apple Translation App.


In addition, I use a translation shortcut - integrated with the system Share Sheet - that you can obtain from the Shortcuts gallery - if you are running iOS12 or later.
