On my desktop Chrome, where do I find the tabs opened in my phone's Chrome browser?

A reader asked us:

I use Chrome on my iPhone and PC. I believe I have everything synced for my Google account but I can't find on my PC the tabs I have opened on my phone. Can you help?

Sure we can and the short answer is Ctrl+H, the History tab.

At the very top of the History tab you can see the pages opened on all your connected devices. You can also get to the History tab by clicking Menu > History.

If you are not seeing the opened tabs there, you need to make sure that you are logged in with the same account on both your phone and PC.

You also need to check that you synced everything correctly. On your iPhone, open Chrome, go to Menu (represented by 3 vertical dots currently), then Settings. Click on your account name, then Sync and make sure Open Tabs are selected to be synced. This will ensure that tabs opened on Chrome on your iPhone will be synced with your other devices, including your PC.

For Android the process should be similar.
