How To Access Multiple Chrome Tabs Without Leaving Your Browser On Your Android Phone

If you‘ve updated your device to the latest version of Android (5.0, called Lollipop) and open multiple tabs in Chrome. you won't be able to access tabs you opened previously. To access these tabs, you'll need to tap the square button at the bottom right of your screen (called the Overview button).

To open a new Chrome tab, tap the three dots at the top right, then ‘New tab’ and go to the website of your choice. In order to switch between open Chrome tabs you first need to tap the Overview button. You’ll now see all the apps that are open on your device as a carousel (each Chrome tab appears as a separate slide in this View). Swipe through and tap the tab you want to open.

If you’d rather see all your open tabs within the same browser. then there‘s a default setting you need to tweak. To do this, open Chrome, tap the three dots at the top right. scroll down and tap Settings. Next, tap ‘Merge tabs and apps‘ (see screenshot below left), tap the slider to turn it off. then OK.

Now open Chrome and you'll see a tab number to the right of your URL bar at the top. Tap it to see your other open tabs within the app, then tap the one you want to navigate to.
