Chrome home button missing I just got my first iphone - I've been using Android until now - and when I downloaded chrome I noticed that there isn't any home button. Any way to fix this? As of now if I want to get back to the chrome homepage I have to either keep on pressing the back button or open a new tab, and that's obviously very annoying. I'm using an iphone se 2020 with iOS 15.6.

hi - yes I hit the Share/Action icon and did swipe right and it does not show as an option. I previously had iPhone 7 and it was easy to add to Home screen, but for some reason it is not showing as an option. Even when I hit the More icon, it does not list it.

Did you try force closing Safari and restarting your phone?

When you tap on the Share/Action icon at the bottom of the screen, did you try swiping from right to left to see if it appears further to the right?

It should be on second raw (try to slide it to the left), or it could be added tapping on the 3 points, at right end of the second raw.
