Android phones come in far more variants than the iPhone, which may be one reason why devices powered by Android are taking longer to receive a similar feature.
Not all Android devices have facial recognition, or fingerprint scanning — or both.
As a result, there may be a more wide range of settings for locking Incognito tabs on Chrome for Android.
For phones without facial or fingerprint authentication, Google may be able to utilise an Android phone’s unlock pattern or code instead.
At the moment, it’s unclear whether Google will expand these types of extra Incognito protections to other platforms such as the desktop version of Chrome or Chrome OS.
In other Google Chrome news, earlier this month it emerged Google is working on another new security tool for Chrome.
The Privacy and Security Review tool will be part of Chrome’s Safety Check feature which was introduced awhile ago.
