To update Google Chrome on your computer, follow these steps:

  1. Open Chrome.
  2. Look at the top right corner of the browser window:
    • If you see a colored update icon (an upward arrow in green, orange, or red), it means an update is available.
    • Click this icon and select Update Google Chrome.
    • Then click Relaunch to apply the update and reopen Chrome with your tabs restored.
  3. If you don't see the update icon:
    • Click the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.
    • Go to Help > About Google Chrome.
    • Chrome will automatically check for updates on this page.
    • If an update is available, it will download automatically.
    • Click Relaunch to finish updating.
  4. If you want a quicker way, type chrome://help or chrome://settings/help into the address bar and press Enter to open the About page where Chrome checks for updates.
  5. If the update fails or you want to reinstall, download the latest Chrome installer from the official Google Chrome website and run it to install the newest version.

On mobile devices:

  • Android: Open the Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, go to Manage apps & device, find Chrome under updates, and tap Update if available.
  • iOS: Open the App Store, tap your profile, scroll to Available Updates , find Chrome, and tap Update if listed

This process ensures you have the latest security patches, features, and performance improvements. Chrome usually updates automatically in the background, but restarting the browser applies those updates.
