How to Update Chrome on Android

Keeping your web browser up to date is important to ensure a smooth and secure browsing experience. Google Chrome, one of the most popular web browsers, regularly releases updates with new features, bug fixes, and security enhancements. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of updating Chrome on your Android device.

Step 1: Open the Google Play Store

To update Chrome on your Android device, you need to access the Google Play Store. Tap on the Play Store icon on your home screen or app drawer to open it.

Step 2: Navigate to My Apps & Games

Once you are in the Google Play Store, tap on the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner of the screen to open the menu. From the menu options, select “My Apps & Games.”

Step 3: Locate Chrome in Your Installed Apps

In the “My Apps & Games” section, you will see a list of all your installed apps. Scroll down or use the search bar at the top of the screen to find “Chrome” in this list.

Note:

  • If there is an available update for Chrome, you will see an “Update” button next to it.
  • If there is no “Update” button next to Chrome, it means that your browser is already up to date.

Step 4: Update Chrome

If there is an available update for Chrome, tap on the “Update” button next to it. The Play Store will start downloading and installing the latest version of Chrome on your Android device.

Note:

Make sure you have a stable internet connection to download the update.

Step 5: Launch the Updated Chrome

Once the update is successfully installed, tap on the “Open” button to launch the updated Chrome browser on your Android device.

Step 6: Verify the Update

To confirm that Chrome has been updated, open Chrome and tap on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of the screen to open the menu. From the menu options, select “Settings,” and then scroll down and tap on “About Chrome.”

In the “About Chrome” section, you will see information about your current version of Chrome. If it matches or is later than the latest version available on the Google Play Store, you have successfully updated Chrome.

Congratulations! You have now learned how to update Google Chrome on your Android device. Keeping your web browser up to date ensures that you can enjoy all its latest features and security enhancements.

Note:

  • If you have disabled automatic updates for apps on your Android device, make sure to regularly check for updates manually.
