How To Update Your Google Chrome On PC, Android and iOS

Google Chrome is currently one of the most used browsers on both desktop and mobile platforms. Today we will talk about how you can easily keep your Google Chrome updated on PC, Android and iOS.

Google Chrome: Update On PC

Usually, the Google Chrome will automatically update when you close and reopen the browser. However, if you have not closed your browser for quite a while, there are high chances that you will see a pending update.

• Open the Chrome browser on your computer;
• Click on the “More” button that’s found in the top-right side of the browser window;
• If an update is pending, the icon will be colored as followed:
  – Green: an update has been available for 2 days;
  – Orange: an update has been available for 4 days;
  – Red: an update has been available for 7 days;
• Click the “Update Google Chrome” button (if you can’t see this button then you’re already using the latest version of the browser);
• Once the update is complete click “Relaunch” to restart the browser using the latest version.

Google Chrome: Update On Android OS

Usually, Google Chrome will automatically update based upon the Google Play Store settings. However, you can always check if there is a new version of the browser available, by taking the following steps:

• On your Android device open the Google Play Store App;
• At the top left you will see a menu button, which you will need to tap;
• Select My Apps & Games and look for the “Updates” group;
• Here you will see the updates that are available for the applications that are installed on your handset;
