For over a year, Android users have watched their iOS counterparts enjoy a simple yet significant convenience in Chrome: an address bar positioned at the bottom of the screen. Now, the wait is officially over. Google is rolling out the option to move Chrome app’s address bar to the bottom on Android devices. This is a change that many consider a vital “mobile-first” improvement for easier one-handed use.

Let’s keep in mind that this isn’t just a minor tweak. For many, placing the address bar at the bottom of the UI is a significant boost to comfort. After all, we live in a world where smartphones tend to get bigger and bigger. Reaching the top of the screen to type a URL or access tabs with one finger can be a stretch. So, having those essential controls within thumb’s reach at the bottom makes a considerable difference for everyday browsing.

You can now place your Chrome’s address bar at the bottom on Android

Google introduced this useful feature first on Chrome for iOS back in 2023. So, Android users have had to wait a long time for it. However, if you’re one of those who like the address bar placed at the top of the UI, don’t worry. The change isn’t forced; it is a new browser customization option available for you. But if you’re ready to embrace a more thumb-friendly layout, making the switch is straightforward.

The rollout for this feature began recently, and Google typically ships new features in stages. So, while some users might already see it, it could take a couple of weeks to reach every device. If it’s not available for you yet, just be patient and wait a few days.

Once the new feature is available to you, you will find it available from the “Move address bar to bottom” option after long-pressing on the address bar. Alternatively, some users might find the setting under Chrome’s main Settings menu, specifically in an “Address Bar” section.
