Google has released this new Pin Tab feature for Android smartphone users, here's how to use it in Chrome..

Google announced in December 2025 that it would allow users to pin important tabs to Chrome on Android devices. Now, the Mountain View tech giant has finally started rolling out this feature. Previously, it was only available on Windows, Mac, and Linux versions of the browser. This feature was first spotted with the latest update to Chrome for Android. Like the desktop version of the browser, users can pin any tab they want, and it will always appear at the top, even after they close the app.

How to Use Pin Tabs on Google Chrome for Android
After updating to the Chrome 144.0.7559.132 version update for Android, we were able to verify that users can now pin important tabs to the Chrome browser on Android devices. To pin a tab, users must press and hold the tab they want.

From the menu, select the Pin tab option. The Chrome tab will then be pinned to the top of the tabs section. Even if the user closes the browser, the pinned tab will appear at the top when opened. Users can unpin the tab by following these steps or simply closing the tab.

This comes a few months after the company first announced that it would soon bring pinned tab functionality to the Chrome app for Android devices. In its announcement, the company stated that "pinned pages are saved to the front of your browser, allowing you to pick up where you left off."

This is part of Google's efforts to provide a desktop-like experience for its users on Android smartphones, bridging the gap between the two. Recently, a report stated that the tech company is also working on improving Chrome's compatibility with the new desktop mode on Android.

Desktop Mode was previously reported as part of Android 16 Quarterly Platform Release 1 (QPR1) and offers users a desktop-like interface when they connect compatible Pixel models to an external display.

According to reports, this feature transforms the Android user interface into a multi-window layout similar to Samsung DeX functionality. The report states that when the device is connected to a secondary display, Chrome automatically switches the web browser's user agent to load desktop versions of websites and pages.
