Or, more specifically, the feature is showing up for some users but not for others. With the implication being that the feature is still in testing but is rolling out more widely.<br \/>\nTo access the feature, users simply need to open up Chrome, and then the tab overview interface. That\u2019s under the square icon with a number inside, showing how many tabs a user currently has open. Then, a tap on the three-dot overflow menu will reveal a down-sloping arrow icon labeled \u201cTrack prices.\u201d<br \/>\nClicking on that, of course, reveals a toggle to turn the price tracker on or off in Chrome. And a link to the notifications setting page for Chrome.<br \/>\nAs might be expected, the price tracker offers a quick way to keep tabs on prices for products. It even has notification access in Chrome\u2019s deeper settings. So, if the price tracker needs to alert users about deals on products they\u2019re interested in, Chrome for Android can send a notification.<br \/>\nThis change appears to be arriving as part of the Chrome 90 update for Android.<br \/>\nHere\u2019s how to get the price tracker in Google Chrome if it\u2019s not showing up for you<br \/>\nNow, this update isn\u2019t necessarily pushing price tracker to every user with Chrome for Android. As noted above, the rollout here seems to be more measured than a mainstay feature for the browser. For those that don\u2019t see it yet though, it can be turned on manually.<br \/>\nTo turn on the price tracker for Chrome on Android, if it isn\u2019t showing up, as shown in the images below, open a new tab<br \/>\nNavigate to the URL \u201cchrome:\/\/flags\u201d<br \/>\nIn the search bar, type in \u201ctab grid\u201d and locate the \u201cTab Grid Layout\u201d option<br \/>\nIn the drop-down menu, typically set to \u201cDefault\u201d by default, select \u201cEnable Price alerts\u201d instead<br \/>\nA button will appear at the bottom of the page, prompting a restart of Chrome. Tap that button. In some cases, a manual force-close and restart of Chrome will be required<br \/>\nThe feature should now be turned on and active<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s still not clear exactly how this works on Android<br \/>\nAs of this writing, it isn\u2019t immediately clear how Google has set up price tracking to work on Android. Typically, on desktop platforms, this is a feature handled by extensions.<br \/>\nThe placement of the feature, on the tab overview page, seems to suggest that it will keep track of pricing for products that are on web pages the user has already opened up. Namely, those products that have tabs open for them. That\u2019s as opposed to working just like this feature did in Google Shopping. Google will undoubtedly offer up a bit more insight as the feature becomes more widely available on its world-class browser.<br \/>\nThe post Price Tracker Is Live In Android Chrome, Here&#8217;s How To Access It appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/00-price-tracker-chrome-android-DG-AH-2021.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has now reportedly officially launched a new price tracker for Chrome on Android.
