Open Chrome’s About page to see your version number and whether an update is waiting. If you’re reading this in Chrome on a computer, the box below checks your version against the releases Google is serving right now.
Check it yourself: open Chrome and select More (the three dots at the top right) > Help > About Google Chrome. Your version number is under the “Google Chrome” heading, and Chrome checks for updates while that page is open. If you see Relaunch, an update is ready. If there is no Relaunch button, you have the latest version.
The newest versions Google has released are announced on the Chrome Releases blog.
Check your Chrome version on a computer
- Open Chrome.
- At the top right, select More (three dots).
- Select Help > About Google Chrome.
- Read the version number under the “Google Chrome” heading. Chrome checks for updates while you’re on this page.
- If an update is ready, select Relaunch to apply it.
These are the steps in Google’s Chrome help. Shortcut: on Windows and Linux, Alt + F or Alt + E opens the Chrome menu. On a Mac, ⌘ + , opens Settings in a new tab. Both shortcuts are on Google’s keyboard shortcuts page.
Check your Chrome version on Android
- Open Chrome.
- At the top right, tap More (three dots) > Settings > About Chrome.
Android updates Chrome through Google Play, so to see whether a newer version is available, open the Play Store, tap your profile icon, then Manage apps & device, and look for Chrome under “Updates available.”
Check your Chrome version on iPhone and iPad
- Open Chrome.
- Tap More > Settings > Google Chrome.
Updates come from the App Store: tap your profile icon at the top right of the App Store and look for Chrome under “Available Updates.”
If your version is out of date
On a computer, opening the About Google Chrome page is usually enough: Chrome downloads the update and you select Relaunch. If that doesn’t work, or no update ever appears, see how to update Chrome, which covers failed updates and devices that are too old for the latest version.
