Quick Access to Bookmarks in the Chrome Android App
Managing bookmarks efficiently can greatly enhance your browsing experience. Recently, Google has introduced a significant improvement to the Chrome app on Android devices that mimics the desktop version's layout, making it easier than ever for users to access their bookmarks.
Currently, when you open the Chrome app on your Android device, your bookmarks are not immediately visible. Users must tap the three-dot icon at the top-right corner to access mobile bookmarks and the bookmarks bar. This change aims to streamline bookmark access and improve usability for mobile users.

If you want quicker access to your bookmarks in the Chrome app, simply follow these steps: Open Chrome, tap the three-dot icon in the right corner, and select either mobile bookmarks or bookmarks bar. The mobile bookmarks section is where you’ll find links saved on your device. To save a link, tap the three-dot icon within Chrome and then select the star icon.
Optimized for widescreen Android devices like tablets.
The mobile bookmarks section is designed for links that are primarily accessed on the go, while the bookmarks bar replicates the desktop version directly beneath the address bar (also known as the omnibox). The challenge with the current setup is that users cannot directly access their bookmarks from the browser interface; actions require multiple taps on the three-dot icon to select bookmarks.
Exciting News: New Bookmark Bar for Android
In a notable enhancement to the Chrome for Android app, Google is working on a feature that will allow users to display their bookmarks bar directly under the address bar, just like on the desktop version. This change aims to facilitate quicker access to bookmarks for Android users. However, it's important to note that this new bookmark bar feature will only be available on widescreen devices such as tablets and foldable phones.
