How to enable Chrome tabs on Android Lollipop

By admin on Nov 25, 2015

In case you like Chrome tabs on Android and these are not enabled by default, you can enable these. Android Lollipop’s default settings have these disabled. Once tabs are enabled, it is fairly convenient to switch between tabs as compared to apps.

Steps to enable Chrome tabs on Android Lollipop

  1. First click on Android settings menu and then click on settings. Here is how setting menu item appears.

  2. On settings page, locate “merge tabs and apps” entry. If it is “on” then click on it to switch it off. To enable tabs this setting value should be “off”. Here is how the settings looks like when it is “on”.
