Google Chrome Finally Brings an iOS-only Feature to Android with New Update
Chrome for Android version 150 adds a back button, Site controls and a renamed shortcut option as the rollout reaches some users.
- On July 8, 2026, Google began rolling out Chrome version 150 for Android, introducing a dedicated back button within the browser's three-dot menu for the first time.
- Unlike the iOS app, Chrome for Android previously required users to rely on system-wide gestures or device buttons to navigate backward, lacking the browser-specific control now introduced.
- Google also reorganized the overflow menu, moving the site info button into a new 'Site controls' option and renaming 'Add to Home screen' to 'Install and create shortcut.'
- Users can access the update via the Google Play Store manually, though some may need to wait for Google to enable features server-side if they do not immediately appear.
- This update aligns Chrome for Android more closely with desktop versions, offering users a more intuitive navigation experience than relying solely on system-wide gestures.
