Each time you need to search or visit a website, you constantly adjust your iPhone’s position in the hand to reach the top address/search bar in Google Chrome. Thanks to a recent Google Chrome update, you can now move your address bar from top to bottom in Google Chrome on your iPhone. There are two ways to move the address bar to the bottom in Chrome for iPhone.
Note: Make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of Chrome before proceeding with the following steps.
1. From Address Bar Itself
One of the easiest ways to move Chrome’s URL bar to the bottom of your iPhone is from the address bar itself.
1. Launch Google Chrome on your iPhone and then visit any website.
2. Next, touch and hold the top address bar for a few seconds to see Move address bar to bottom option. Select the option to move the address bar to the bottom of the screen in Chrome.
To move the address/search bar back to the top, again touch and hold the address bar and select the Move address bar to top option.

2. From Chrome’s Setting Page
If you can’t see the option to move the address bar due to a bug or some other reason, you can move the address bar to the bottom from the settings menu too.
1. Open the Chrome browser on your iPhone, then tap the Meatball icon (3-dotted icon) and select Settings.
2. Next, go to the Address bar setting and then select the Bottom layout.
3. Hit Done and your address bar on Google Chrome will be moved to the bottom of the screen.
