Two years in the past, Chrome on iOS copied one in every of Safari’s greatest (if controversial on the time) current adjustments and eventually allowed customers to maneuver the app’s deal with bar (or URL bar) to the underside of the web page. This may permit for extra snug one-handed use, because it’s a lot simpler for some customers to achieve a bottom-aligned deal with bar with their thumbs, particularly on bigger telephones.
Weirdly, although, the characteristic did not make it to Android—till now.
A few month in the past, Google lastly cracked, permitting Android customers to maneuver their Chrome deal with bars as nicely. It is a easy sufficient course of—simply long-press on the deal with bar and choose “Transfer the deal with bar to the underside.” Alternatively, you can even click on the three-dots menu within the top-right nook to open the Settings menu and select your deal with bar place from the Tackle Bar part. To vary it again, simply repeat the identical steps, however select to maneuver your deal with bar to the highest of the web page this time.
As minor as this modification could seem, it is certain to make life simpler for a bunch of Android customers. Technically, it began rolling out towards the top of June, however wanted a while to grow to be out there to everybody. Now, with the discharge of Chrome model 138, that point has arrived.
You may must replace Chrome earlier than you see it, and even Power Cease it just a few instances, however as soon as it is prepared for you, you must theoretically see a notification subsequent to the deal with bar that claims “You’ll be able to contact and maintain to maneuver the deal with bar to the underside.”
What do you suppose to this point?
That stated, not everyone seems to be seeing the notification—my colleagues over ZDNet did not, however that did not maintain them from shifting their deal with bars. Should you really feel caught, it is value simply making an attempt to maneuver your bar and seeing what you get.
As for whether or not you may choose a brand new location for you deal with bar, it is in all probability as much as which cellphone you will have and the way you like to carry it. But it surely’s nice to have extra choices.
