I know this bug was yet reported. But it seemed (or I didn’t see) that no official answer/reolution was been.

Tab Group setting not working on Android

[Screenshot_20220604_123020_com.brave.browser] It’s worked for me

Topic closed without any response… ?

Description of the issue:
Hi,
since 3 weeks (without an update of the application) the tab groups are desactivated.
I saw the correct settings to set on this page (the parameters was like that, option activated, since the begininning and all was OK, tab groups worked fine).

How do I Enable/Disable Tab Groups on Android?

But, without any change from myself, tab groups were desactivated. Since, there is no way to activate it again…
I synchronized with my PC, hoping that could fix that bug, but there is no change…

I tried to disable/enable the feature on my Android device (Parameters → Appearance → Enable tab groups). But it doesn’t change anything. The list of tabs are still in flat list…

This is a main and mandatory feature that I want in my default browser. If this feature can’t be changed, I will have to change my default browser. But I like Brave. Please find a solution to this bug (hoping I’m not the only one having this bug)

Thank you

How can this issue be reproduced?

1. I don’t know. This bug appears even when I didn’t do anything on parameters. Tab groups was enable by default when I start to use Brave, and I enjoyed it. And suddenly, the feature was disabled and I found no solution to re-enabled it.

Expected result:
“Tab groups” feature enabled again.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.51.121

Mobile Device details
Samsung Galaxy S21 (Android)

Additional Information:](Support Templates Reference)
This feature is mandatory for using a browser for now. Please fix it

Does going to brave://flags and enabling tab groups on tablets help ?

[Ayok]

Thank youuuuu

I tried each option, and only these 2 work :

A new display available :

And the classic :

Best regards

I see. Thanks for the info. @Mattches would you know why the other 2 options don’t seem to work ?

@Ayok,
Apologies but I’m not quite clear on what view you’re actually looking for. Can you share a screenshot (or find one online) where the tabs are displayed the way you’d like them to be in the browser right now?

[Ayok]

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.

When I downloaded Brave, the setting “Tab groups” was enabled by default, and it was perfect. That displayed tabs as groups like this

Then, suddenly, even I didn’t change anything in configuration or customisation, the tabs appeared like this:

So I tried to find a setting to change that… Nothing.
I tried to synchronise with my Computer, nothing.

And then, thanks to @SmartyAadi , I discovered “hidden” configuration.
2 options are ok (see post above with pictures).
Finally, the flat list of tabs changed to grouped tabs

Flat list (default)

Grouped tabs (that’s that I had when I downloaded Brave, by “default” ?) That I enjoyed

Hoping this helps according to your question ?

(Sorry, I’m french and I don’t speak/write english very well
Hoping that you’ll understand what i’m explaining )

Sorry for the splitted response, the forum seems to do not accept to link more than 4 attachment images at same time😅

@Ayok,
Thank you for the confirmation.
Is the issue resolved then?

[Ayok]

Yes, it’s ok right now
Hoping that will not change in the future, without any actions from me (users are so confused when behaviours of an application change while they doesn’t touch anything )
