Navigate Backward to the Previous Page
If you’re browsing the internet and want to visit a page you’ve read, then you can use the backward navigation to revisit the page. Here are the steps to follow:
- Launch the Chrome app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Open a website of any choice and navigate as you wish
- Click the Back button to go to the previous page.
You can also use the back button to see previously visited websites, mainly browsing history.
Navigate Forward to the Next Page
If you’ve navigated backward from the last page, the forward navigation arrow will become active, and you can tap again to visit the next page. Here are the steps to follow:
- Open the Chrome app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Open a website of any choice and navigate as you wish.
- Click the Forward button to go to the next page.
You can also use the forward button to see all possible preloaded pages.
Bottom Line
When surfing news websites or any web magazine portal, you might want to return to the previous page. If you are already on the previous page, go next.
Moreover, by pressing and holding the navigation button, you can open a new tab or view your browsing history. But if you don’t see the buttons working, you are already at the first or the last page.
Similarly, you can navigate backward and forward within Chrome on computer. You can click and hold the navigational arrow button to open the page history.
