Microsoft has been hard at work improving the mobile experience for people who use its Edge browser. The Android version of Edge Canary recently made a major jump to be in line with the desktop version of Edge. We've only had a short time to test out those improvements but have been impressed with the speed of Edge Canary on Android so far.
Now, iOS users have something new to use as well. The update lists the same changelog for iPhones and iPads, so you can take advantage of the new features on either type of device.

The Microsoft Edge browser is available on all major platforms, including Windows, Android, and iOS. Now, you can sync your open tabs and history from Edge on iOS across to other versions of the browser.
