Google Chrome has officially launched a new update for its Android app which allows users to change the position of the address bar.
The company revealed that it can now be moved to the bottom of the app for more flexibility. The Mountain View-based tech giant stated that this change makes it simple to use Chrome for Android on devices with different-sized screens, enabling users with varied hand sizes to adjust their position as per their preference for easy browsing.
Google Chrome’s new update
In a blog post, Google detailed the new update for Chrome on Android, stating that the new update allows users to customise their browsing experience by tweaking the position of the address bar on the web browser.
It can be moved to the bottom of the app for better usability, particularly on phones having large screens. To do this:
- Open the Google Chrome app on Android
- Long-press on the address bar and select the Move address bar to the bottom option
- Alternatively, navigate to the Settings menu on the app
- Select the address bar and choose your preferred spot
Notably, the Google Chrome for iOS app has carried this feature for more than a year now. It is invoked with the same tap and hold gesture on the browser which brings up the Move address bar to the bottom option.
Google says the new address bar setting will be available on devices starting today and expanded to everyone in the coming weeks.
