There is no item 'History' in 'Chrome menu' as suggested here:

On Android, you can put chrome://history in the address bar to show the history page as it is on a computer. I'm not sure about iOS, but it should work the same. – Faiz Saleem Feb 22 at 18:55
chrome://version works, chrome://credits works, chrome://history doesn't. – Antony Hatchkins Feb 23 at 15:52
Google doesn't say it's possible, which means...well, it isn't possible. You could ask Google to add this feature on the Chrome forums... – Faiz Saleem Feb 24 at 1:01
Where did you see google saying it is not possible? I quoted a help page that I found through 'Help' item in menu that says it is possible. – Antony Hatchkins Feb 24 at 7:50
Sorry, can't find that page - maybe I was just tired and I was misreading things (it was 1am over here in the UK) Nonetheless, I don't think there is a way to do Chrome history on iOS. An alternative browser is Dolphin Browser, which is also pretty good. – Faiz Saleem Feb 24 at 15:39

If you type direct into the web address box in iOS chrome some words relevant to the item in the history, then the page should appear in the drop-down list.

If you are using Chrome on iOS there doesn't seem to be a global history section as there is when using Chrome on your Mac.

On a Mac you would press the "hotdog" menu button and simply select history.

On iOS the only method I have seen for browsing history is holding the back button down for a couple seconds in each tab. Holding this button own will then give you a list of the most recently visited pages for this particular tab.

There is the option of deleting browsing history, but as yet there is no option to view it.
