Officially introduced on Android version of Chrome!How to use "tab groupization function"

Many people don't bother to close the tab after seeing the website on the mobile version of Google Chrome.

After that, it's quite difficult to find what you want to see from a number of tabs that are open.

In order to efficiently manage open tabs, Chrome has a function called "tab groupization" that combines multiple tabs.

With this feature, you can easily sort the necessary tabs.

Let's explain how to create and manage tab groups in Android version of Chrome.

How to create a new tab group in Android version of Chrome

The tag groupization function is enabled by default in versions after "Chrome 88" and is upgraded to formal functions.

So, if you want to use this feature, first update your device Chrome to the latest version.

New tab groups are created in the following steps:

  1. Chromeで画面の右上に表示されている「タブの数を示すアイコン」をタップして[一覧画面]に切り替えます。
  2. 画面右上にある縦3点のアイコンをタップします。
  3. [タブのグループ化]を選択します。
  4. 1つのグループにまとめたいタブを選びます。
  5. 右上の[グループ化]をタップします。

This creates one group that summarizes the selected tabs.Other tabs should remain as individual tabs.

If you want to add another open tab to an existing group, just press and hold the tab you want to add on the tab list screen and drag it to the group.

To add a new tab to the group, tap the target group on the list screen and open the [ +] icon.

Also, when you list the grouped tabs, all tabs contained in the group are displayed in the bar displayed at the bottom of the screen.

By using this bar, you can easily switch the tabs in the same group while browsing the web.

How to add a new tab to a group

In addition, when you are browsing any website, you can add a linked page directly to the group through hyperlinks.Let me explain how to do that.

  1. 閲覧しているウェブページで、グループに追加したいページへのリンクを長押しします。
  2. [新しいタブをグループで開く]をタップします。

If there are multiple groups, the pages added via the hyperlink will be sent to the group with the most tabs.

Also, if you do this when there is no group, a new group will be created automatically.

How to delete a tab from a group and how to delete the group itself

If you press and hold the tab you want to delete from the group, the [Delete from the Group] menu will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. Drop the tab here.With this operation, the tabs only come off the group and will not be closed.

If you want to close a specific tab in the group, just press the [X] button on the upper right.With this operation, the tab is also deleted by the group.

After this operation, the "Return" menu is displayed at the bottom of the screen, which is the last chance to return the closed tab to the group.

If you accidentally close the tab, this pop -up can be conveniently used, but it will only be displayed for 5 seconds, so do not miss a chance.

To delete the group itself, open the group and tab list screen and check the group list.

To completely delete the group, tap the [X] button at the top right of the group.You can cancel this operation for 5 seconds after tapping, just like closed the tab.

Differences in the groupization function of the Android version and the desktop version of the tab

The group of the desktop version of the Chrome tab has more room for customization than the Android version, naming the group or specifying the default color.

If you use these additional functions, it will be easier to identify the tabs in each group than to open and check each tab.

There is no such function in Android version of Chrome.Therefore, managing multiple groups is more difficult than the desktop version.

However, when multiple groups are combined into one, the Android version is more convenient.

In the desktop version of Chrome, you can only move the tabs one by one, but in the Android version, you can select a group in a lump and summarize it with another group.
