On the iPad there's a little switch at the top, while on the iPhone you get two rows of stacked tabs, normal and private. You can also swap between open tabs on the iPad by swiping from the edge of the screen, while on the iPhone you just drag from the edge of the screen to switch tabs and you swipe to close any tab from the stack view. This worked really well in my tests.

One extremely useful feature on Chrome for iOS is that if you sign in with your Google account -- and use Chrome for desktop -- you can transfer all your open tabs from one device to another, so you can continue reading whatever you were on your computer. These can be accessed from a folder icon with two arrows on it, which appears once you sign in to the service. will have a similar feature when it arrives this fall, called iCloud Tabs, but this means you will have to use Safari on the desktop too.

To access your tabs from desktop Chrome on iOS, sign in with your Google account on your PC (Settings/Sign In to Chrome), and on iPhone/iPad when prompted after you install the app (or Menu/Other Devices). Then you can access any tabs you have open on the desktop via Menu/Other Devices, and a list of open tabs is displayed. Tap on any of them and you're done.
