Google is currently testing new features for the desktop and iOS versions of its Chrome browser. The highly requested Dark Mode has appeared for some users, while iOS users might soon be able to lock and unlock Incognito tabs using Face ID and Touch ID.
Google Chrome's desktop Dark Mode is currently in testing
At this point, most of the widely used apps and websites have already added an option to view content in dark mode. Even the iOS and Android operating systems have long added a native dark mode setting. Many users prefer this viewing option because they find it easier on the eyes, and it is believed to help save battery.
Despite being one of the most popular browser apps on desktop and mobile, Google Chrome has yet to join the dark mode trend. But that might change soon as several users confirmed the browser has recently added a dark mode setting.

Google Chrome users who cannot find this option on their devices should not worry. There is nothing wrong with their version of Chrome, as Google confirmed with The Verge that the new feature is still being tested.
The scope of the testing is also unclear and how long it is planned to go on before Google decides whether to launch it as an official feature. "We're always testing new ways to improve our experience for our users, but don't have anything specific to announce right now," Google told the same publication."
It appears that the Google Chrome dark mode was automatically set for some users that have a system-wide dark mode activated through their device's operating system. 9To5Google also reports that, in some cases, opening an incognito window will notify users that a new dark theme is available on the browser.
Google Chrome on iOS might get Touch/Face ID unlock options
Google is also testing another feature that will add another layer of privacy measure for iPhone and iPad users who leave incognito tabs open. In a separate report, 9To5Google notes that Google is looking to add an option to lock private tabs and windows.
While locked, the incognito pages will be blurred. The contents will not be revealed until the Google Chrome user unlocks the private window using Face ID or Touch ID. Like the desktop's dark mode, this iOS/iPadOS feature does not have a clear release timeline at this point.
