"Visit a web page, highlight the text you want to create a link to, right click, and select ''copy link to highlight''. A URL ending in a pound sign will be generated, which you can then share with others. When they open the link, they''ll be sent to the specific highlighted section instead of the beginning of the page."

The search engine giant had elaborated that the ''copy link to highlight'' feature is already available on desktop and Android devices for some users. However, the feature will be soon available to iOS users too, the company informed.
