Chrome on Android will soon let you group a single tab
- Chrome for Android will soon let you group a single tab.
- The feature was spotted in the latest Canary build of the mobile browser.
- It can be activated in the mobile browser by enabling a flag.
If you’re a stickler for tab organization, then you’re probably a fan of Chrome’s “Tab Group” feature. While the feature has been around on both desktop and Android for quite some time, the mobile version is getting an ability previously only available on desktop.
It appears Google is starting to roll out single tab groups to the Canary version of Chrome for Android. The feature first appeared in the early build version of the mobile browser back in January, but it was grayed out at the time. In the most recent Canary build, however, the feature is now functional and can be enabled through an experimental flag, according to @Leopeva64 on X (formerly Twitter).
Once enabled, users can group a single tab by tapping on the three vertical dots. When the drop-down menu appears, you’ll see the “Group tab” option. Selecting the Group tab option will allow the user to pick the tab they want to group, rename the tab group, and more.
The feature is currently only available in Chrome Canary, which means it is still in the early stages. As such, the feature is only meant to be used by developers who are testing out new features for Chrome for Android. It’s unclear when Google could bring it to the stable version of the mobile browser.
