Here’s How to Move the Chrome Address Bar to the Bottom of Android Phone Screens

Google frames the tweak as related to ease of use, depending on the size of a user’s hand or phone.

Depending on how you use cell phones — and maybe even your hand size, Google’s latest tweak just might be a very welcome change.

Starting Tuesday, Chrome for Android users can now place the address bar at the bottom of their phone screens, a move that finally comes nearly 17 years after the first Android phone hit the market in 2008. Users can still keep the address bar at the top, but being able to have it at the bottom might make sense for folks with a certain hand size or phone size.

In a blog post Tuesday, Google said that «one address bar position may feel more comfortable than the other. We designed this update to give you the flexibility to choose your preferred location — so you can browse with more ease.»

To move the address bar from top to bottom, Google instructs to «long-press on it and select the ‘move address bar to bottom’ option. Or just navigate to the settings menu and select ‘address bar’ to choose your preferred spot.»

All the options will travel with the address bar, including the tab switcher, three-dot overflow menu and other shortcuts. And you can keep the address bar at the top if you prefer.

Google said that the option to move the address bar will eventually be available to all users in the coming weeks.

Small change that makes a difference

Jason Howell, host of the Android Faithful Podcast, and a former CNET staffer, applauded the upgrade by Google. 

«As smartphones continue to get bigger, and not just wider but often taller, one-handed use becomes more challenging,» he told CNET. «The inside display of the recent Moto Razr Ultra is a great example: it’s so tall that operating it with one hand is practically impossible. Reaching the top address bar with one hand is often tricky and risky. Giving users the option to place the address bar at the bottom means Google’s important apps are more accessible to more people.»

Giving users the address bar option comes a few years after Apple did the same thing with its Safari search bar with the iOS 15 rollout. In response to years of users complaining about the search bar being at top by default — sometimes cutting off web page content — Apple enabled the top-bottom option in late 2021.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
