Chrome for iOS Puts Address Bar at the Bottom for Easier Navigation

Google's Move Benefits iPhone Users, Android Left Waiting

Enabling this feature on Chrome for iOS is straightforward. Users can tap and hold on the address bar and select “Move Address Bar to Bottom.” To revert it to the top position, simply tap and hold again, then choose “Move Address Bar to Top.” Alternatively, users can customize the address bar’s position in Chrome’s settings.

Considering the diversity in size and shape among Android phones, it’s likely that this feature won’t remain exclusive to iOS for long. However, Google has not provided a timeline for its arrival on Android, leaving non-iPhone users in a state of anticipation.

The feature was initially teased in August, suggesting that Google might offer Android users a similar heads-up before its launch on the iOS platform. Notably, Google had previously tested the feature on Android in 2020 but eventually abandoned it.
