This change will make it easier for users to use one hand and access the address bar faster.
The address bar is being moved to the bottom of the screen in the test version of Google Chrome for iOS. Users will be able to use one hand and get to the address bar faster with this change.
Steve Moser, who writes for MacRumors, found the new tool in an update to Google Chrome’s TestFlight. There are two ways for users to change where the address bar is. The first way is to press and hold the address bar, which gives people the choice to move it. The second way is to use Chrome’s settings menu to move the address bar. But it’s not clear yet when all TestFlight users will be able to use this new tool.
The company is waiting for an official announcement about when this feature will be released. Google had a similar tool for Android in the past, but it was taken away later. In 2017, Chrome for Android tried putting the address bar at the bottom. However, this feature was later taken out of the final version.
People like this function because phone screens are getting bigger and bigger. If this function is made available to more people, Chrome’s mobile browser could become even easier to use.
