Chrome for Android has plenty of useful features, and Google keeps adding more every now and then. However, there\u2019s one quality-of-life feature that\u2019s been missing from Chrome for Android, even though it\u2019s been available in the iOS app for a while: a dedicated back button. Fortunately, Google is now fixing that.<\/p>\n

Chrome for Android version 150 is now rolling out, and it\u2019s finally introducing the back button on Android devices (h\/t 9to5Google). With this update, the browser\u2019s three-dot menu now displays both the forward and back arrows side-by-side. Earlier versions of the browser only had the forward arrow button.<\/p>\n

With the back button taking up space in Chrome\u2019s three-dot menu, the other icons have shifted as well. Google has removed the site info button from the menu and added a new \u201cSite controls\u201d option instead. The \u201cAdd to home screen\u201d option has also been renamed to \u201cInstall and create shortcut.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the update has started rolling out, it has clearly not reached everyone just yet. We were unable to spot the new back button on most of our Android phones running the latest version of Chrome from the Play Store. On my devices, the new site controls option is also not available, but I did spot the \u201cInstall and create shortcut\u201d option in the menu.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that this is yet another one of Google\u2019s infamous phased server-side rollouts. You can try updating to the latest version of Chrome from the Play Store and see if the back button shows up on your Android phone.<\/p>\n
